Free public lecture by OU's Dr Meg Barker

The OU’s senior lecturer in Psychology Dr Meg Barker is due to hold a free public lecture on ‘Rewriting the Rules? Non-monogamies and other adventures in non-normative relationships.’
 
The annual lecture will be held at the University of Ulster, Magee College in Derry, on Wednesday 2 May 2012.
 
This talk is set to look at our changing understanding around relationships and the emotional and psychological impact this has on both those who try to follow ‘the rules’ and those who step outside them.
 
As well as being a senior lecturer in Psychology at the OU, Dr Barker is also a sex and relationship therapist. In collaboration with Darren Langbridge she is the co-editor of the journal ‘Psychology and Sexuality’ and is the co-organiser of the critical sexology group which presents open interdisciplinary seminars on sexuality three times a year, along with many other projects.
 
 The talk is also set to co-inside with her new book ‘Rewriting the rules’ which will be released later this year.
