Description

Graduate students meet to discuss selections of young adult literature, focusing on investigations of generic conventions, as well as the themes within the novels themselves. Special attention is typically paid to developing notions of the self; awareness of change in the body, mind, and social sphere; romance and heteronormativity; power and commodification; and other issues of relevance to adolescent readers.
