2025 WABF in Stavanger, Norway

The World Anti-Bullying Forum (WABF) 2025 was held from June 11 to 13 in Stavanger, Norway. Several of our current and former lab members attended the conference. Below are some photos from the event and a list of presentations from our lab. We also had a great opportunity to not only reconnect with both former and current lab members, but also to strengthen our collaborations—for example, with Dr. Dorothy L. Espelage, who served as the discussant for our symposium, and Dr. Danbi Choe, our collaborator on the cross-country teacher victimization project in South Korea, who also contributed to the symposium.
