Abstract:

What has happened to our universities after the Global Financial Crisis?  How many vision statements, strategic plans, subplans and key performance indicators does a university need to prepare for the zombie apocalypse?  Tara asks if the zombie concept, explored by Ulrich Beck in the early 2000s, can now be applied to our universities.  Combining higher education studies and zombie studies, Tara’s seminar reveals the barriers and blockages to an enabling university.  Put another way, are you a walker or a thinker
