Zombies and Sociology

Doing a Google search on zombies let me find a lot on the topic.

Feminist Perspective

Tumblr Perspective

Science Major's Perspective


Here's my perspective:


Life at college got a lot more difficult for the students of Sociology after the second zombie outbreak.

Other than the regular evacuation and response drills that took up curriculum time, future sociologists also had to contend with the increasingly authoritarian nature of the school governing body while they studied about fascist states.

It was during the third evacuation drill in a single week that the students of Sociology started hypothesizing that the zombie outbreak could have been a moral panic that was engineered by the state to have an excuse to assert their authority. Such ideas of course did not please those in power, and when the rumours did reach their ears, the university nearly lost a department.

(Feel free to carry on the story...)
