The Notion of Bullying Through the Lens of Foucault and Critical Theory
Bullying is a high profile topic of discussion among educators, administrators, researchers, parents, and students. Empirical research on bullying and resulting intervention and prevention programs provide understandings of a specific set of behaviours of children that has come to be known as bullying. These understandings, and related programs and policies, are limited by an emphasis on individualization and behaviouralism. I advocate for a broa…
Investigating the problem of bullying through photo elicitation
Bullying is a tenacious problem in schools. Usual strategies that attempt to regulate behaviour and improve interpersonal relationships have not yielded significant and sustained change in school cultures of violence. Usually overlooked in programmes, policies and research are indications of how social differences are a factor of bullying behaviours. Such differences mirror broader categories that are socially significant, such as race, religion,…
Spinning our wheels: Reconceptualizing Bullying Beyond Behaviour-Focused Approaches
Bullying behaviours remain common in schools despite an abundance of policies and programs aimed at curbing them. In this paper, the author argues that such policies and programs are problematic not because they are flawed in themselves, but because they draw from the dominant and usual ideas about what bullying is taken to be. These ideas are presented as more fundamental problems that contribute to ‘wheel-spinning’ where efforts to reduce bully…
The problem trap: Implications of Policy Archaeology Methodology for anti‐bullying policies
James Scheurich argues that practices of policy – normalized over time through repetition – serve three purposes. They structure social problems for which policy is designed to address; construct certain people, implicitly or explicitly, as problem individuals; and shape policy solutions. Following Foucault, he offers what he calls Policy Archaeology Methodology as an approach to policy analysis that emphasizes how particular social problems (but…
Fag Church: Men Who Integrate Gay and Christian Identities
It is usually assumed that being gay or lesbian and being Christian is contradictory. The eight men who participated in this qualitative inquiry demonstrate otherwise. I investigated the ways in which these men integrated their gay and Christian identities meaningfully into their lives. From the interview data, I discerned and describe in this paper a variety of strategies that these men adopted in order to facilitate identity integration of seem…
