Just received notification that the Zombies in the Academy book is slightly delayed, but due to be published in early 2013. This is quite a long time after my first blog post about our chapter, in February 2011!
The book now has a page on the University of Chicago Press site, which shows off quite a funky front page!
The contents look really interesting, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy, although I did notice that Margaret Attwood is now writing a zombie novel which might suggest that zombies have jumped the shark.
If zombies are on the way out, I wonder what will be the next metaphor to go viral?

About digitalscholar
I am a sociologist with an interest in new technology. Previously I’ve worked on a number of projects at Lancaster University and the Open University looking at the use of new technologies and social media by researchers and this is when I first set up this blog.
I am now a social sciences teaching fellow at the foundation centre at Durham University teaching sociology, anthropology and health studies. I am still interested in new technologies but now the focus has shifted towards teaching and learning applications. I am going to use this blog to post thoughts about using new technologies in my professional academic life and wider thoughts and links relating to technology more generally.
