Trauma Literature in the Classroom: Pitfalls and Potential
Psychological trauma is swiftly becoming one of the most significant public health concerns and obstacles to effective education in the current teaching climate. This paper responds to my experiences as both a secondary English teacher and registered psychologist, examining the potential utility of trauma literature in the English classroom for destigmatising trauma as a subject, as well as offering representation and hope for students who have experienced trauma. Reasonable concerns about addressing the subject of trauma, even through fiction, are also discussed. The concept of trauma is first framed, before the genre of 'trauma fiction' is briefly outlined. Following this, two case studies are presented, examining the use of trauma fiction in the classroom. Final thoughts are presented regarding the potential benefits of utilising trauma fiction in the English classroom, as well as possible pitfalls. This reflective response aims to instill greater confidence in teachers of English in responding to trauma; in their classrooms and in the texts that they teach.

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.
