INTERDISCIPLINARY SCHOLARSHIP
We study psychoanalytic, philosophical, neurodiverse, and neuroscientific approaches to literature.
English majors can specialize in Literature and the Mind by taking, at any time before graduation, four approved courses. At least two of these must be courses taught by the English faculty (or affiliates) associated with the specialization.
Graduate students interested in the pursuit of psychoanalytic, philosophical, neurodiverse, and neuroscientific approaches to literary study may take the First Qualifying Exam in “Literature and Mind” in addition to courses on related topics.
