Description
This paper incorporates both research on bias-based bullying and research on religious education aiming to establish a closer link between prevention of bullying and the core activity of teachers, i.e., teaching and learning in specific subject areas. Within bullying research, context sensitivity has resulted in an increasing interest in what is often called “bias-based bullying” to better understand stigma processes, to prevent and stop such bullying, and to create a safe and good learning environment. In the research on religious education, the increasing emphasis being placed on teaching and learning about a diversity of religions and worldviews has led to a research interest in creating inclusive learning environments, which are often referred to as “safe spaces.” In this paper, we build on both of these research traditions while discussing subject-specific possibilities of addressing bias-based negative behaviour in the Norwegian context.
