Eric Baylis is a second year social/transnational historian whose research charts the intersections between heterodox/outsider-created media and nuclear war. Fascinated by the apocalypse since his parents let him watch The Day After at the age of four, his focus is the borderland where science fiction, experimental film, and marginalized resistance groups overlap – all against the backdrop of the “long” 1970s.
