Study on bullying one group short

The BC Government may be using a room at Simon Fraser University’s Vancouver Campus for its Erase Bullying Summit Tuesday, but it hasn’t invited anybody from the University’s own research team looking into online bullying.

Chantal Faucher with the University’s Cyber Bullying Research team admits she was surprised nobody asked for her involvement in the invite-only event set-up in the wake of Amanda Todd’s suicide, “I guess we’ll just listen to the news and find out about it that way, at this point, but it was definitely disappointing.”

The most prominent expert brought in to speak is author and bullying expert Barbara Coloroso.

Faucher notes she respects Coloroso’s work but feels her team could have been included.
