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.Diversity Studies Seminars are in-depth experiences in the study of multiculturalism and cultural diversity in American society and in societies that have impacted American society. Courses expose students to and inform students about the contributions of African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans and Latinos to American culture, history, and society.
