GUEST SPEAKER

Dr. Sandra Wheeler

Associate Lecturer in Anthropology with the University of Central Florida:

Anthropology of the Undead Mummies, Zombies, and Vampires

Learn about the long history and complex relationship that humans have had with the supernatural - namely the undead. Focusing on mummies, zombies and vampires, we will examine how anthropology addresses key questions linked to the existence of the undead. Investigate why this topic is so popular today and how various cultures have tried to cope with the knowledge that one day, they too might become one of the undead.

Please be advised, this presentation contains graphic images that some viewers may find disturbing.
