ISU Prof Researches Vampire Culture

Idaho State University Assistant Professor of social work D.J. Williams is devoted to researching “self- identified vampires” and the vampire sub-culture and educating mainstream culture about them. “My interests involve how self-identified vampires understand themselves and their practices, and how they are interpreted by others, based on existing social processes and available social discourses,” Williams said. “I am one of the few scholars who has worked directly with the vampire community.”  Williams has published on this topic in peer-reviewed academic journals Leisure Sciences and Leisure/Loisir, and has acted as a consultant for the FBI regarding understanding vampire identities, issues and practices. He has also been approached as an expert for a proposed television documentary on these topics/ Idaho State Journal . More here .
