Identity, family, and community are all concepts in which human beings cannot escape. As children and young adults, our families and the communities help to shape our identity. However, life experiences allow us to question our identity; and destroy or rebuild both our families and our communities.
This course will explore how identity, family, or community is threatened and reconstructed because of a zombie apocalypse. We will explore the resiliency of the human being to redefine themselves for the sole purpose of survival. In conversation with the historical and contemporary world of the Zombie, global philosophy, and decolonial theory, we will co-create a template for the survival of the individual, family, and in periods of genocide or social unrest, and not just inside of a Hollywood film.
