Developing English Language Arts Teacher Candidates’ Social Perspective Taking
Teachers' social and cultural perspectives may differ greatly from those of their students and families. [...]SPT may be useful in helping teachers cultivate more well-rounded and informed cultural perspectives that acknowledge issues such as race and gender that permeate the lives and realities of diverse students. While literature \"focuses on the possible, inviting its readers to wonder about themselves,\" literature also encourages \"readers to put themselves in the place of people of many different kinds and to take on their experiences\" (Nussbaum, 1995, p. 5). [...]reading \"can have transformative influences on readers\" (Mar et al., 2011, p. 829). Young Adult Literature as a \"Transformative Experience\" Literature as a transformational experience has been explored by English teacher educators when preparing future teachers to consider new perspectives and to examine their own biases, particularly related to the young adults they will be teaching (Donovan & Weber, 2021; Falter & Kerkhoff, 2018; Glenn, 2012; Haddix & Price-Dennis, 2013; Lewis & Petrone, 2010; Petrone & Lewis, 2012). In their study of 12 TCs who read young adult literature with representations of disability, Donovan and Weber found that TCs drew on their own backgrounds and personal experiences rather than on critical perspectives that might disrupt harmful representations or bias. [...]additional research can contribute to how teacher educators can incorporate young adult literature so that TCs can perhaps alter established, familiar thought patterns and embrace different methods of considering the world around them.

Applying Labelling Theory to Selected Short Stories by James T. Farrell
For decades, “societal reaction theory” or “labelling theory” has provided the most significant explanation for deviant behaviour, particularly in the case of juveniles. The theory argues that once a stigma is attached to an individual, an irreversible process occurs whereby the labelled individual begins to identify as deviant and to embark on a deviant career. Hence, rather than deter bad behaviour, stigmatisation and shaming serve only to amplify it. Although the labelling perspective is rooted in sociology, we find proponents of some version of labelling theory in other disciplines, even in literature. The present study posits that in the short stories of Irish-American writer James Thomas Farrell entitled “Big Jeff,” “The Fastest Runner on Sixty-First Street,” “Young Convicts,” and “The Scarecrow,” labelling processes emerge as essential elements in a comprehensive understanding of each story. All four stories are the least critically acknowledged works by the author even though they demonstrate the author’s remarkable talent for illuminating the social and psychological factors associated with deviant behaviour among juveniles.
