Zombies!? Yes, Zombies!
Are you one of those people who spend their life paranoid that zombies

Walking Dead?
If so, this it the opportunity for you!
On October 28th and 29th, the University of Windsor is holding

In a zombie apocalypse, how does a civil society survive?

preparedness, and the spread of infectious diseases?
Practical
Problems to Reflect on will include:
Regarding defense, is a wall or an army better?
Food security.
