itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The 91²Ö¿â<a href=\"\/academics\/english\/\">English<\/a> department encourages its capstone students to research something they are passionate about because, in the words of Dr. Diana Maltz, \u201cthe capstone is something you have to live with during senior year.\u201d For Rowan Dettloff, Rose Alting, and Autumn Price, this meant exploring themes of identity, storytelling, and representation in literature. Their capstone projects investigate queer horror comics, postcolonial literature, and neurodiversity in classic literature.

Rowan explains, \u201cThe experience of being queer, particularly of being trans, is something that is monsterized by larger culture. It quite frequently results (at least for me) in a complicated relationship with yourself, your desires, and your body.\u201d For Rowan, living in an \u201cOthered\u201d body is like a body horror experience itself, so it felt easy for him to draw parallels between queerness and the monstrous body.<\/p>\n<p>Rowan\u2019s capstone is heavily influenced by Dr. Merrilyne Lundahl\u2019s course, Rhetoric of the Body. Rowan describes the class as \u201cincredibly interesting and beautiful,\u201d as it was one of \u201cthe first times [he] was given the language and opportunity to question what [queer people] have been silently taught about [their] own bodies.\u201d He has found that \u201cpart of the queer experience is coming to terms with the fact that [queer people] will be inevitably viewed with some disgust, confusion, or fear.\u201d Rowan, in his life and work, fights to find joy and power despite those conceptions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being influenced by 91²Ö¿âclasses, many pieces of media also influenced Rowan&#8217;s capstone project. One in particular was an anime and manga by Mokumokuren. \u201cIn <em>The Summer Hikaru Died<\/em>, a gay teenager\u2019s best friend dies. The friend is replaced by a cosmic, unknowable, monstrous entity wearing his face.\u201d Rowan found \u201c the complicated depiction of queer desire and how that fits into the world, quite beautiful.\u201d<br \/>\nBlending critical analysis and creative practices has \u201ccertainly been interesting.\u201d Rowan shares that the project initially felt intimidating: \u201cI have had doubts about how academic my project really is at times, as it feels incredibly self-indulgent to be making a comic for my capstone.\u201d Over time, however, the research began to shape Rowan\u2019s comic. While researching, Rowan discovered \u201ca wealth of academic discussion on \u2018the monstrous queer,\u201d which stems from the idea of \u201cthe monstrous feminine.\u201d His research led him to a central idea: monstrosity can become a source of empowerment rather than shame.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Rowan just wants other queer readers to see themselves in his mini-comic. He describes his college experience as \u201ctime centered around learning to accept [himself] as a queer person. [He is] telling this story because [he] needs to hear it too.\u201d Rowan maintains that he is no expert on the history of queer theming in the horror genre, but he still wants readers to see how queer individuals might find power in flipping the narratives of monstrosity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzsaw0r-54e1829fd630261a5676d3095dc80a1b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mpzsaw0r-54e1829fd630261a5676d3095dc80a1b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mpzsaw0r-54e1829fd630261a5676d3095dc80a1b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mpzsaw0r-54e1829fd630261a5676d3095dc80a1b av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic.webp 682w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic-227x300.webp 227w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic-534x705.webp 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic.jpg\" height=\"900\" width=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic.jpg 682w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic-534x705.jpg 534w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" class=\"wp-image-104670 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-104670 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" title=\"Sketches-for-Rowans-mini-comic\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzrtghl-cf371b664cd0c7628cc1ea160852bf68\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzrtghl-cf371b664cd0c7628cc1ea160852bf68 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzrtghl-cf371b664cd0c7628cc1ea160852bf68 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Sketches for Rowan\u2019s mini-comic<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzrtxju-e358840573de271dbf2a781481ae4cb1\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzrtxju-e358840573de271dbf2a781481ae4cb1 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzrtxju-e358840573de271dbf2a781481ae4cb1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Rose Alting\u2019s capstone emerged after taking courses in Irish Literature, Poetry of Witness, and South African Decolonization Literature. Rose became fascinated by the way colonial histories shaped literature across cultures. One text really stood out to Rose: \u201c<em>Coconut<\/em> by Makhosazana Xaba, which I read in my South African literature class, has become one of my favorite books ever\u2014it was the utmost inspiration for choosing to make this unit plan.\u201d Aside from the book&#8217;s poignancy, Rose appreciates \u201cthe powerful truth it reveals about the long-lasting effects of South African apartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rose aspires to be an educator; therefore, her capstone focuses on designing a secondary-level English unit plan that introduces students to postcolonial theory through literature from Ireland, South Africa, Indonesia, and Native America. She hopes the project helps students critically examine the narratives they encounter about colonialism and culture.\u201cInauthentic narratives commonly glorify the colonizer and promote negative stereotypes,\u201d Rose explains. She believes that if students have an accurate understanding of postcolonialism, this can prevent future ignorance.<\/p>\n<p>One of the project\u2019s main goals is accessibility. While structuring the unit plan, Rose found herself \u201ccontinuously [heading] into lessons that were far too complex for eleventh graders.\u201d She explains that it is hard to find a balance with these topics: \u201cI don\u2019t want to shy away from the authentic truth of postcolonialism, but I also don\u2019t want to build a lesson that\u2019s unsuited for the age group.\u201d To keep the balance, Rose always keeps her audience in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Rose intends to make postcolonial theory more approachable to high school students by connecting unfamiliar concepts to texts students already recognize. For example, she uses <em>The Jungle Book<\/em> as an entry point into postcolonial analysis because many students already know the story. Furthermore, Rose uses graphic novels and young adult literature as teaching tools: \u201cYoung adult literature, in particular, can be more palatable for high school students because it typically focuses on characters in the high school age range. So, a student could easily relate to a character from a postcolonial piece of young adult literature, which can support their greater understanding of the postcolonial story.\u201d This is the gist of Rose\u2019s method: \u201ctrying to make the content easier to understand by combining new ideas with something students already know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzrwqrt-8022562637423d4b1bb152c89f0caf86\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzrwqrt-8022562637423d4b1bb152c89f0caf86 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzrwqrt-8022562637423d4b1bb152c89f0caf86 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u201cThe ultimate goal is for everyone to walk away with a greater cultural awareness and sensitivity, and with <span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">the notion that they should challenge what they\u2019re taught.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Rose Alting<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzrxgys-60661605b2d1ca0a7f9f44bd367af0f3\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzrxgys-60661605b2d1ca0a7f9f44bd367af0f3 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzrxgys-60661605b2d1ca0a7f9f44bd367af0f3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Autumn Price\u2019s capstone focuses on one of literature\u2019s most beloved classics: <em>Pride and Prejudice<\/em>. By using the lenses of disability and neurodiversity studies, Autumn reexamines familiar characters in ways that challenge assumptions about \u201cnormalcy\u201d in literature. Autumn \u201cfell in love with <em>Pride and Prejudice<\/em> while [she] was taking Melissa Anderson\u2019s Jane Austen class.\u201d She noticed on her first read through, that some of the characters could be read as neurodivergent. Part of this, as Autumn describes it, is because she saw herself in characters like Mr. Darcy.<\/p>\n<p>The most compelling aspect of the project is Autumn\u2019s interpretation of Mr. Darcy as \u201cAutistic-coded.\u201d Rather than reducing Darcy to awkwardness or pride alone, Autumn argues that many of the novel\u2019s misunderstandings stem from social communication struggles: \u201cDarcy is awkward in social settings, and bad at explaining himself. But he is also the shining romantic interest in the novel, and I think it\u2019s really cool he gets to be both.\u201d Autumn also explores how film adaptations shape audiences&#8217; perceptions of neurodivergent-coded characters. She points to moments in the 1995 miniseries and the 2005 adaptation that visually emphasize the characters\u2019 social awkwardness and fixations: \u201cMr. Collins tells Elizabeth the exact number of windows at Rosings when they visit in the 1995 mini series. This added dialogue that\u2019s not in the text totally contributes to him being perceived as Autistic. In the 2005 version, Darcy stands around stiffly and awkwardly in multiple scenes, giving the audience a visual of his awkwardness, as described in the book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While reading criticism, Autumn recognized a gap. \u201cA lot of the criticism [she] read focused on the male characters because women were left out of disability studies for so long.\u201d Autumn was surprised to see that no one included Georgiana in disability readings. She believes re-examining characters is super important because \u201crealizing they are neurodivergent can normalize those identities.\u201d Like Rowan, Autumn hopes neurodivergent readers see themselves reflected in literary history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzryhkj-6b75d0177259275d799fe8bbcb45bc2e\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzryhkj-6b75d0177259275d799fe8bbcb45bc2e .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzryhkj-6b75d0177259275d799fe8bbcb45bc2e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em><span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">\u201cNeurodivergent and Autistic people have always existed!<\/span> They have a place in literature and literary studies, and they are super fun to talk about!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Autumn Price<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mpzrxltu-1296439b8a4cee4adbcb0dfe8294c307\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mpzrxltu-1296439b8a4cee4adbcb0dfe8294c307 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mpzrxltu-1296439b8a4cee4adbcb0dfe8294c307 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Although their projects differ dramatically in subject and style, Rowan, Rose, and Autumn\u2019s work reflects the ability to revisit familiar narratives and discover entirely new meanings within them that create representation.
