Description
Academic bullying is an age-old serious issue that affects people in a variety of positions across all branches of science. Academic bullying is a pattern of behavior in which an individual is harassed, offended, or intentionally isolated within an academic setting, often occurring regularly and over an extended period of time. This form of bullying can have severe impacts on the target’s ability to work effectively, eroding their self-esteem, and hindering their career advancement, promotion, recognition, and professional credibility. Despite being a well-recognized issue, the scientific community continues to grapple with fully addressing academic bullying. One key obstacle is the lack of awareness and understanding among faculty members, particularly when it comes to distinguishing between academic freedom and bullying.This half-hour video aims to bridge that gap by providing faculty members with the knowledge to recognize and address academic bullying and harassment. It outlines the contextual behaviors associated with bullying, offering clear examples of how they differ from the principles of academic freedom. The video also serves as a guide for faculty, equipping them with strategies to ethically manage and intervene in instances of bullying, fostering a more respectful and supportive academic environment. Through this training, faculty will become better prepared to identify bullying behaviors and contribute to the broader effort to eliminate academic harassment.
