Description:

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.  
Philosophy and Critical Theory (PHCRT) courses focus on developing critical reading and thinking skills, with an emphasis on learning to frame and explore meaningful questions. Students consider multiple perspectives and claims in the process of formulating independent, well-founded opinions.
