Using Culturally Sustaining Science Fiction Book Clubs to Address Agency and Academic and Emotional Literacies with Dutch Neurodiverse Youth
Jody N. Polleck
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v68 n2 p105-117 2024
This study examines the experiences of 10 neurodiverse students in Amsterdam, Netherlands, who all participated within in-class youth-led book clubs that centered science fiction. Over a 6-month period, the researcher conducted pre- and post-interviews and analyzed these along with transcription data from 24 book club sessions. Findings reveal that book clubs, using culturally sustaining science fiction and healing-centered facilitative practices, provide opportunities to address students' academic and emotional literacies as well as their sense of agency.
