Description
Bias-based peer victimization (BBPV) occurs due to socially stigmatized or devalued characteristics including minoritized disability status, gender, racial/ethnic identity, national origin, sexual orientation, or body size. BBPV is pervasive, and researchers from different sociopolitical and cultural contexts have studied the correlates and effects of BBPV, yet many unknowns that may affect research on, prevention of, and intervention regarding BBPV have not been fully explored. We propose a timely workshop discussion about BBPV to catalyze future work by a global team of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Moderators include Drs. Sevgi Bayram-Özdemir, Kelly Lynn Mulvey, Alaina Brenick, Helen Cahill, and Diana Meter, who conduct BBPV research in unique socio-political contexts.
Objectives:
• Attendees to leave with fresh ideas for how to tackle this complex and difficult issue
• Collaborative relationships between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will be built
Outline:
• Moderator flash talks on current research and practice in this area
• Small group discussions:
o Is BBPV are globally universal?
o What can we learn from research in bias, prejudice, and discrimination that is missing from current perspectives of BBPV
o How do specific socio-political factors impact who is at risk for BBPV? How might these factors affect prevention and intervention efforts?
o What are promising prevention and intervention efforts?
o In what ways the underlying processes of BBPV are similar to or different from general victimization?
• Small groups report back and larger discussion will take place
• “Speed dating” to develop collaborations and keep the conversation going post conference
