"We were fortunate in Nassau County, Florida to bring Dr. Hinduja to our middle schools as part of a Learn 'n Serve grant. After meeting with students in classrooms, club meetings and assemblies, Dr. Hinduja was able to bring our county's dialogue about cyberbullying to a different level. He was flexible about the setting he spoke in, the size of the audience he spoke to, the time he was allowed to present in, and the busy schedule required of him. Administrators appreciated having a copy of his book as a resource, students appreciated his real world cyber experiences, and I appreciated his passion for and expertise of his subject. Keep up the good work, Dr. Hinduja! Your message is going to continue to be relevant for youth, teachers and administrators for years to come." Kim Clemons, Project Manager, Office of Intervention and Prevention, Nassau County School District

Sage Podcast
By Sameer Hinduja
Dr. Hinduja participates in a joint podcast organized by Sage Publications with fellow social scientists Robert Agnew, Carter Hay, and Paul Mazerolle to chat about the relationship between the sociological concept of strain, traditional bullying, and cyberbullying. It's worth a listen if you're interested in learning more about empirical research in this area. Near the end of the podcast, Dr. Hinduja also briefly discusses his forthcoming co-authored (with Dr. Patchin) article to be published in Youth and Society. That piece found that middle schoolers who reported experiencing strain were significantly more likely to have engaged in bullying and cyberbullying, that bullying seemed to be related to feelings of negative emotions, and that anger and frustration did not appear to mediate the relationship between strain and either traditional bullying or cyberbullying (which is contrary to General Strain Theory).

AudioEd - What School Administrators Can Do About Cyberbullying
By Sameer Hinduja
Dr. Hinduja discusses how public districts can informally and formally respond to online bullying incidents, even if they originated by students outside of school. He covers how some semblance of legal precedent has been built over the last few decades related to student speech and free expression, and applies those precepts to new technology misuse cases. Finally, he suggests prevention and intervention strategies that should deter the behavior in the future and send a clear message that interpersonal harassment among youth will not be tolerated by school personnel.
