All Consuming: The History of Zombies and Anxiety in American Culture

Zombies are more popular than ever and like a post-apocalyptic hellscape, they’re taking over the world. In this session, we will discuss the historical fears that brought this creature into the public mind and what it grew to represent in popular culture. The monster has changed dramatically over time, but what lies behind it has always been the same: the social anxieties eating us from inside, never sleeping, never stopping, just feeding.
