Welcome to The Association for the Study of Buffy+

Our association’s mission is to promote the scholarship of Buffy+ Studies while focusing on inclusivity, intersectionality, and excellence. We define Buffy+ Studies as the scholarly exploration of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and various related texts. In pursuit of this mission, we publish the journals, Slayage: The International Journal of Buffy+ and Watcher Junior: The Undergraduate Journal of Buffy+, as well as hosting a Slayage conference every other year to discuss the latest Buffy+ scholarship.
