This course focuses on how different forms of neurodivergence (such as autism, ADHD, OCD, etc.) are portrayed narratively and visually in children's picture books, novels, and resource texts. It examines different understandings of neurodivergence, such as the medical model and the neurodiversity paradigm, in relation to disability studies. It asks central questions about agency, power, and knowledge. Who gets to shape epistemological discourse about neurodivergence within children's literature? Equally importantly, it contemplates the narrative and rhetorical strategies neurodivergent writers and characters employ both to exert their own agency and to challenge literary form itself.

The research process is a treasure hunt- decoding literary texts, exploring cavernous archives, following the citational clues, and mapping out our own interpretations of the world. Taking contemporary real-life mass literary treasure hunts (like those featured in Netflix's docuseries Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure) as our guiding framework and incentive, this course introduces students to critical skills of the English discipline such as identifying logical fallacies; locating credible secondary sources; close reading of literary texts with a variety of interpretive approaches; as well as writing, revising, and presenting scholarship. We end with a unit in bushcraft, navigation, and ecology for a reallife search in the wilderness. The course thus includes in-class and outdoor experiential learning components. Who will discover the treasures- monetary or otherwise - that await? Prerequisite: ENGL 1016. (Post-1800; Can/Am; serves in lieu of ENGL 2013 requirement).
