Description:
Various factors within higher education institutions make academic bullying a complex issue. Major forces include the hierarchical nature of academia creating power and privilege dynamics, competitive environments with limited resources, and perceived barriers for discouraging toxic behavior. Bullying can lead to psychological and physical harm of individuals and can create a culture that is hostile, unproductive, and demoralizing.
In this workshop, we will develop an understanding of the language and attributes associated with academic bullying. The presenter will share insights into the impacts of these behaviors. Participants will also learn intervention strategies when they observe or experience bullying. At the end of the session, the presenter will share campus resources and support structures to help individuals and leaders address these situations constructively.
