Elizabeth Dillon opens the panel with research addressing the zombification of labor in racial capitalism. Katherine Sugg will discuss "abjections of apocalypse" in addressing the relationship of zombies to liberal agency and settler logics. Ess Pokornowski concludes the panel by exploring the zombie's role in acknowledging and exploring the large-scale atrocity undergirding contemporary life in wealthy nations of the Global North and the West and\, on the other hand\, attempting to deny and/or absolve complicity in them. \nCookies\, coffee\, and tea from Bon Appetit.\n\nElizabeth Maddock Dillon is a distinguished professor of English at Northeastern University and the author of New World Drama: The Performative Commons in the Atlantic World\, 1649–1849 (Duke University Press\, 2014).
