Course Details

How tales and themes from the zombie apocalypse (Romero’s Night of the Living Dead series, the Walking Dead, and other pop culture phenomena and media) can teach us about community economic development. Using pop culture we'll assess the following: In what way do threats and uncertainty impact our community growth? What are the stressors on a community and how do we identify them? How do communities define themselves? Why do leaders emerge? What is the role of trust in leadership play in a growing community? What is the role of organizations in a functioning community? How can organizational presence affect community growth?
