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.

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.

They Turned a School Into a Jungle! How The Blackboard Jungle Redefined the Education Crisis in Postwar America
[...] the story was understood either as a sociological document that realistically depicted the problems facing U.S. schools, or as an irresponsible exaggeration that exploited social anxieties about youth and schooling. [...] the cultural conversation turned on whether The Blackboard Jungle was a work of sociology or sensationalism - a work of fact or fiction.\\n In the wake of The Blackboard Jungle, the education crisis was thus recast in the popular imagination as a question of adequate surveillance, as a struggle to impose order on the dangerous school.47 The visual semiotics of the film also suggested a new explanation for the nation's school crisis.

Cultivating the Taste of the Nation: The National Council of Women of Canada and the Campaign against “Pernicious” Literature at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
This article analyzes the campaign against “pernicious” literature undertaken by the National Council of Women of Canada at the turn of the twentieth century. Concerned with the growing availability of dime novels, penny dreadfuls, and romances and their perceived influences on young readers, Council members sought to educate the Canadian public about the circulation of so-called “pernicious” literature. But they also sought to eradicate the popularity of “pernicious” literature by encouraging children, youth, and adults to read a “better class” of books, through the creation of the National Home Reading Union in 1895. This article argues that through these strategies, the Council’s campaign re-asserted the primacy of the family, with the mother as its moral guide, in providing the ultimate defence against the dangers of “pernicious” literature.
