About the event
This is a 120-minute foundational through intermediate level lecture, located in The Library (lower level)
How can the circumstances of haunting inform us about how to aid or fight the deceased and also inform us about culture, place, and self? What is the normative state of the Dead? Can we be physically harmed by hauntings? When do you Talk, Walk, or Run? What can we do for the Living to help reduce disruption for them when they pass on, and can we do this for ourselves as well? These and many more questions will, hopefully, be answered during this talk.
Come and see if this talk doesn’t come back to haunt you.
This lecture ties in to our Graveyard Walk (with Professor Porterfield, Dr. Alexander Cummins, & Jesse Hathaway Diaz) happening Friday 8/21/26 at 1:00pm, space is limited, so we suggest you register early.
