Camille Buckner received her Ph.D. in Social and Personality Psychology with a sub-specialization in Quantitative Methods from the University of Texas at Austin in 1997. She joined the Marymount faculty in 2006 and regularly teaches General Psychology, Psychology of Gender, Cultural Psychology, Research Design, and Senior Seminar.
Her research centers around the topics of gender and sexual identities; stereotypes and discrimination; and best practices in teaching and learning. Dr. Buckner has co-authored a textbook entitled The Psychology of Sex and Gender, currently in its second edition. She actively engages MU students in research, and her students regularly present their work at Marymount’s annual Student Research Conference (SRC) and beyond.
While not at Marymount, she and her partner keep busy with family and friends in Reston, VA. They have four (now adult) kids and one very spirited dog named Mei Mei. Dr. Buckner has been living with Long Covid since March of 2020 and has published poems in the “Amplifying Disabled Voices” special section of the Mid-Atlantic Review.
