Distinguished scholars from the U.S. and around the globe will present at the inaugural Niagara Conference on Workplace Mobbing, July 22-24, on the Niagara University campus and virtually.
“This conference initiates an effort to establish workplace mobbing as a comprehensive scholarly discipline and to establish a connected and interactive community of mobbing scholars, labor experts, and committed attorneys,” said Dr. Qingli Meng, senior lecturer in Niagara University’s computer and information sciences department and registrar of the conference.
The conference goals include developing a clear conceptualization of workplace mobbing that sets it apart from the broader term of bullying, and establishing mobbing as a scholarly subfield to encourage scientific research on the topic. A selection of eight conference papers will be compiled and published as an edited book by Edwin Mellen Press, and all papers will be printed in a “Conference Papers on Workplace Mobbing” document.
Topics covered over the three days include the remedy and prevention of workplace mobbing; the current context as it relates to unions, administration, students, and politics; mobbing and academic freedom; and the key role of leadership. Case studies will also be discussed.
The registration deadline is July 15, and fees are $100 for in-person attendance and $50 for virtual. For more information or to register, visit https://www.niagara.edu/workplace-mobbing-conference/.
