Dr. Steve Vrooman-Zombies Don't Eat Brains

Zombies don't eat brains, but our brains like to eat zombies. Why do we? And, what can we learn from knowing that?
Dr. Steve Vrooman, professor of communication studies, really likes zombies. He writes books, gives lectures and studies how zombie movies can reveal our society’s deepest thoughts and fears. In this SCHOLA, Dr. Vrooman explores zombie and monster movies created over the past several decades and, by mapping them to social and cultural fears, shows how they can be a true indicator of what we were thinking and feeling at the time.
