From the OC Register:
My first reaction upon being invited to participate in the UCI massive open online
course, “Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC’s The Walking Dead,” was “Sign
me up!” What an exciting prospect it is to draw on issues presented in this record-breaking
TV series in order to teach social science topics… Joanne Christopherson is a lecturer
in UC Irvine’s School of Social Sciences and associate director of its Demographic
and Social Analysis master’s degree program. She graduated summa cum laude from UC
Irvine with a doctorate in environmental health science with a concentration in epidemiology.
She’s a fan of psychological thrillers with multi-dimensional characters and situations.
