"HAUNTING, HORROR, AND OTHER GHOST STORIES" THIS RESEARCH SEMINAR IS DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS CONCEPTUALIZE, DEVELOP AND FINISH SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH PROJECTS IN A SINGLE QUARTER. IT SHOULD BE USEFUL FOR STUDENTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND WITH VARIED RESEARCH INTERESTS. THIS YEAR WE WILL THINK WITH HAUNTING, HORROR, AND GHOSTS AS ENTRY POINTS INTO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT POLITICS, CULTURE, AND POWER. WHAT DO INDIGENOUS ZOMBIE FILMS TELL US ABOUT COLONIALISM? HOW MIGHT HORROR FILMS SPEAK TO MISOGYNY AND RACIAL VIOLENCE? CAN WE THINK ABOUT HAUNTING AS ANTI-COLONIAL PRACTICE? WHAT CAN DRACULA AND FRANKENSTEIN TELL US ABOUT THE ANXIETIES OF MODERN CAPITALISM? PRE REQUISITE CHID 390 OFFERED VIA REMOTE LEARNING
