About

The aim of this research is to explore experiences of student-to-student bullying in higher education and  perpetrator/target experiences over time (e.g. primary to HE) whilst also exploring institutional features that might encourage or negate a climate of bullying in HE. The investigation sits at intersection of theory and practice pertaining to bullying within educational contexts, that of the workplace and of bullying in adulthood.
