PARTICIPATE: Parents and Technology in Cyberbullying: Intervention and Prevention for Future Experts.	Co-Principal investigator	Cyberbullying is a significant social, health and behavioural concern throughout the EU and worldwide, yet crucial areas in its prevention and intervention have largely been side-lined, namely the key role of parents, as well as the role of gender, disability, ethnicity and sexuality. The PARTICIPATE Doctoral Network project is addressing this research and action gap, by delivering a world-class multi-sectoral, multidisciplinary doctoral training program incorporating plans for substantial networking and exchange of information, expertise and action potential regarding the nature and extent of cyberbullying across Europe. By focusing on parents, as well as on gender, disability, ethnicity and sexuality, the project aims to empower both parents and young people, creating a safer space online for our youth, while placing Europe firmly at the forefront of cyberbullying research and practice. This Doctoral Network brings together many of the foremost world leaders and cutting-edge researchers in the areas of cyberbullying prevention, and is grounded in scientific excellence provided by six academic partners in conjunction with a strong and diverse range of 8 non-academic partners, including independent research organisations, NGOs, youth foundations and internet safety organisations. The objectives will be achieved during the lifetime of the project through a unique combination of individual and collaborative research work, non-academic secondments and workshops on scientific and applied skills facilitated by the academic/non-academic composition of the consortium. The findings generated – and made available on this website as they become available – https://msca-participate.eu/ – will produce both practical, research-based programs, and European guidelines on cyberbullying in relation to gender, disability, ethnicity and sexuality, and the roles parents play in prevention.	01/09/2022	30/08/2025

Teaching Interests

My scholarship is concerned with the question of how best to equip teachers and their students with the critical skills and knowledges necessary for them to unpack the complexity of different educational problems and issues (e.g.,bullying; inequality; racism in education) as well as enabling them to respond effectively to the major issues confronting society such as climate change, conflict, and poverty.I am particularly drawn to those teaching methods that enable students, teachers and teacher educators to develop the capacity for critique and to apply these understandings in productive ways in their own classrooms and in their communities. I have a particular interest in making theory accessible to students through innovative teaching approaches which make effective use of popular culture and film to apply theoretical constructs to everyday or real world examples. Innovative teaching - particularly as it relates to social justice pedagogies - is also one of my main research interests. I am currently completing a manuscript on 'Affective Pedagogies' and critical media literacy approaches to global citizenship education.

The text draws on theoretical, empirical and practical insights to illuminate the creative and critical potential of

affectively-informed critical media literacies to make available new ways of seeing, and participating in, the world. It focuses on the emotional, experiential, subjective, as well as the ethical and political aspects of critical media literacy-based approaches that call on learners to consider their own situatedness in systems of social inequality and global injustice. It explores the possibilities as well as the limitations of media literacy-based pedagogical approaches in empowering students to challenge hegemonic perspectives and to participate in society as justice-oriented global citizens (Funk, Kelner & Share, 2016).
