2022 Festival of Monsters - Making the Contemporary Monster panel

This May 21 roundtable discussion moderated by Monster Studies Center Director Michael M. Chemers brought together bioethicist Rosemarie Garland Thomson and horror writer Mike Carey (live via Zoom) with Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, the founder of the field of Monster Studies, for a conversation about monsters in the modern age. Each came from a different perspective – Thomson from humanities scholarship, novelist and comic book writer Carey (Hellblazer, the X-Men, The Girl with All the Gifts) from popular culture and Cohen from monster scholarship – for an unforgettable exchange
