NPR: Buffy Studies

[anotheranon]

"Buffy enjoys a special following among academics, some of whom have staked a claim in what they call 'Buffy Studies.' NPR's Neda Ulaby reports there are serious academic studies on the characters and themes in the series -- titles like 'Buffy the Vampire Disciplinarian: Institutional Excess and the New Economy of Power.'"

Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but it looks like "Vampire Ecology" was just the tip of the iceberg.
