Your humble blogger is typing these words in Seattle.  I’ll be presenting tomorrow on Theories of International Politics and Zombies at ZomBcon 2011

[Um… does tha fact alone merit a blog post?–ed.]  Good point.  There are two other zombie-and-me events this week. 

From 7-9 PM EST this Wednesday, I’ll be the "Expert to Discuss How Theories of International Relations Could Salvage Humanity from Global Zombie Apocalypse" according to this press release.   That’s because I’ll be delivering the Centre for International Governance Innovation’s Signature Lecture on Zombies, the G20 and International Governance in Waterloo, Canada.  Not any old zombie lecture — the signature one.  If you don’t live in Waterloo, don’t worry, you can sign up for the free, live webcast of the lecture

As a warm-up for that lecture, however, might I suggest, the night before, watching Zombies: A Living History.  It will be aired on the History Channel on Tuesday, October 25, at 8 PM.  The filmmakers interviewed me for half a day, so I’ll pop up now and again. 

Here’s the extended trailer:

 

Enjoy your weekend!
