“…Wilmot et al (2021) argue that SH of Black girls at school is critically understudied. Black girls are made unsafe by the lack of educator response to their victimization and by policies that are unfairly and harshly applied to them (Dolet & Salas, 2021). There is similar urgency to address the burdens of Black boys.…”

“…Their first encounter with hyper‐surveillance often is at school where Black boys receive unfairly harsh discipline compared to peers (Heilbrun et al., 2018). When boys internalize this social positioning, they may perform hyper‐masculine behaviors, such as the “cool pose” (Cunningham & Meunier, 2004), at the expense of establishing the emotional connections they desire (Harris & Kruger, 2022). This hyper‐masculinity may carry with it heteronormative, gendered expectations about others and influence how they think and behave at school.…”

Scant research exists on adolescent thinking about sexual harassment (SH), and even less on Black adolescents’ thinking. We listened to Black students as they thought aloud about a hypothetical SH dilemma. Participants were 7th graders (N = 21, 10 girls, M = 13.2 years, SD = 2.9) who identified as Black or African American. We presented a hypothetical dilemma about a boy who continues to touch a girl despite her request to stop. Participants were asked to take the perspective of each character as well as their own as a bystander. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we identified patterns in responses and two themes. Black girls saw the event as a failed social transaction requiring relationship repair. Black boys saw the dilemma as individual risk taking that could result in punishment. We consider these themes within an intersectional framework and compare them to the more familiar gendered framework used in research. Our findings provide insight into how Black adolescents think about SH and suggest entry points for culturally responsive social and emotional learning (SEL) curricula.

“…Middle Grade is a sub-genre of children literature, which is prioritized for readers aged 7-12 years and a medium for writers to voice and popularize individual actions and collective movements, one of them is OwnVoices movement. In the middle grade, the https://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy 531 Nationally Accredited and indexed in DOAJ and Copernicus people represented would also get a safe space in preventing controversy and generating consensus from the results of reflection on reading middle grade literature (Dolet & Salas, 2021).…”

This research is the formula analysis of popularization of science fiction in representing the neurodivergent character, Cora, in Show Us Who You Are. The novel, exposes the female autistic who would be the next hologram creation of Pomegranate’s experimentation. The method used in this study is an inductive-qualitative approach with comprehensive data collection and analysis that generate arguments and critical thinking. The material object used is the novel Show Us Who You Are written by Elle McNicoll, while the formal object is the formula put forward by Raymond Williams about conventions and inventions in the science fiction genre. The combination of science fiction and middle grade makes Elle McNicoll's work unique in reconstructing the romanticization of neurodivergent character from the neurodivergent perspective. Thus, these innovations are presented in various formulas which deconstruct the binary narrative through feminist critique in soft SF formed by the author in the delivery of an inclusive neurodiversity movement.
