Paul Scott

Paul Scott earned his master's and doctoral degrees at Durham University in the United Kingdom, and is a French literature and science-fiction scholar. His research and teaching interests focus on the past (early modern French literature) and on the future (French, English, and Korean science fiction, especially television shows). He is also a zombie specialist and is currently completing a book on television shows featuring rational zombies, analyzing the reasons behind this recent evolution of the undead. Originally from the U.K., and as a dual U.K. and U.S. citizen who has lived in France, Greece, and Canada, he is a strong advocate for study abroad. His high-school English teacher was mentored by J. R. R. Tolkien.
