Description

 

Historically, much of the research on bystander intervention in academia has focused on improving bystander behaviors in undergraduate populations. Only recently have organizations’ interest in and attention to bystander intervention trainings that focus on workplace environments affecting faculty, staff, and graduate students increased. This lack of bystander intervention resources specifically catered to faculty, staff, and graduate students may be attributed to the complex work environments that make it hard for these individuals to intervene. This session will explore these complexities and some efforts at campuses to develop bystander intervention programs for these communities.
