Reading Things Not Seen: A Reflection on Teaching Reading, Race, and Ghosts in Juvenile Detention
Ezekiel Joubert III discusses the (im)possibilities of using literature that includes the death of or violence on bodies of color and the presence of ghosts of color in curricula that supposedly promote social justice to examine how we read historical and social tragedies that haunt our historical and collective memory. Using the literary responses and reflections from juvenile detainees in a summer reading program, this studies shows how teens identified and named the racialized ghosts present in literature taught to juveniles. The article explains how reading the presence of racialized ghosts within the curriculum allowed students to co-construct knowledge, build a sociopolitical consciousness and engage in dialogue with one another and the texts in the era of extrajudicial killings of people of color in the era of #BlackLivesMatter and Trayvon Martin.

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.

Globalizing the Local: Irish Film and TV in 2016
Prolific producers such as Rebecca O'Flanagan (Viva, Handsome Devil), Katie Holly (the period film Love and Friendship was one of the year's biggest and most unusual Irish success stories), Rachel Lysaght (Strange Occurrences in a Small Irish Village, Hostage to the Devil) and Leslie McKimm continued to build business momentum while also being to the forefront of institutional decision processes; Holly and Lysaght were appointed as members of the IFB and McKimm as Project Manager. Output in this format has grown exponentially over the past decade with many festivals running multiple \"new Irish shorts\" programmes to accommodate four IFB funding schemes (documentary, animation, live action and micro narratives), various local and regional initiatives (e.g. Galway Film Centre, Filmbase etc.) and untold numbers of young filmmakers - inside and outside of formal education settings - who produce films that find recognition at festivals around the world. [...]perhaps most usefully for educational contexts - was the IFB funded After '16 project: nine fiction and documentary short films selected from hundreds of applications which were screened at festivals and on RTE and have recently become available in the IFI player. [...]coincidentally or not, RTE placed its chips firmly within TV3 territory by commissioning Screentime Shinawal to produce Dancing With the Stars, a localized version of the BBC's wildly successful Strictly Come Dancing. Since going on air in January 2017, Dancing With the Stars has been the most watched show on Irish television.

Graphic Novels: A Brief History and Overview for Library Managers
Graphic novels have long fought to gain literary recognition; however, as the struggle has unfolded, graphic novels have not only achieved this, but have also been recognized for their uses and applications within other disciplines as well. These books have overcome the medium’s criticisms of violence, sexual situations, and stereotypes of male power, and have earned their place in our society, and in libraries. As more libraries, both public and academic, integrate graphic novels into their collections, the potential for criticism and censorship attempts increases. Graphic novels deserve the same recognition and consideration for inclusion in libraries as other literary formats; therefore, library managers must have a basic understanding of the format in order to defend their inclusion in collections to critics.
