March 12 – Cyber bulling Symposium
I am pleased to announce an upcoming research symposium at SFU, which may be of interest to you and to members of your university community, titled:
Cyberbullying at Canadian Universities
Awareness around the issue of cyberbullying has grown in the last year, as has research on this problem affecting universities as well as other workplaces and educational institutions. This one-day event will:
· Bring together policy, practice, and scholarly research in order to enhance awareness and understanding of cyberbullying among various stakeholder groups;
· Develop on-going dialogue around research, applications, and policy responses to cyberbullying in Canadian universities;
· Provide an opportunity to forge strategic partnerships within our university as well as with other universities interested in creating on-going research and working groups.
This is a free, invitation-only event sponsored by four SFU groups:
· Vice-President, Academic
· Safety & Risk Services
· Faculty of Education
· Centre for Education, Law & Society
The event will take place on Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, BC. We hope you can save this date to your calendar to join us for this exciting event.
We also hope that you can assist us in identifying key stakeholders at your university who would be interested in joining this dialogue. We will reserve a minimum number of seats for your institution and hope you can invite members of your university community to join you in attending this event. We hope to have a balanced representation in the audience of policymakers/administrators, teaching and research personnel, students, and staff. More information about the symposium and registration will soon be available on the website.
