Educational strategies & policy; Bullying & anti-bullying strategies

Series: Foundations and Futures of Education

Bullying: Experiences and Discourses of Sexuality and Gender provides a valuable insight into the experiences of young people and how bullying can impact upon them in the school environment. The book offers an introduction to the key issues associated with bullying on the grounds of sex and sexual orientation, and points to key policies and guidance on these difficult issues.

With cutting-edge research and applied studies from leading academics and practitioners in the field, Bullying combines theory with suggestions for practical intervention for practitioners in education and social work. Chapter by chapter, the book strengthens the reader’s knowledge base, and demonstrates how best to develop both academic and advocacy arguments to confront bullying, formulate intervention through examples of research findings, and recommend advice and guidance in professional contexts. Bullying offers multiple perspectives to challenge bullying related to gender, sexuality, and transgender status.

The book includes the latest work on:

sexual bullying and the implications for policy and practice

sexual dimensions of cyberbullying

homophobia

sex differences in bullying

lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in educational contexts

planning and delivering interventions in schools.

Bullying: Experiences and Discourses of Sexuality and Gender will appeal to education professionals, as well as researchers and postgraduate students in the social sciences, social work and educational and clinical child psychology.

Reviews for Bullying: Experiences and discourses of sexuality and gender

I suggest that it must be read by anyone connected to our educational system from grade school to college. - - Charles Silverstein, Ph.D. Psychology Today A key contribution of this book is the extent to which it not only makes connections between various forms of bullying. In doing so, the book provides an important dialogical opening through which collective understandings of bullying can be incorporated into more mainstream discussions about how to address the problem. - Paul Horton, Gender and Education Journal, Routledge
