Academic labor has expanded beyond the walls of academic institutions. Academics are expected to communicate with students online, use digital tools to complete their work, and share their research with broad audiences--often through online spaces like social media. Academics also face technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA) in these same…

Technology-facilitated sexualized violence (TFSV) is a growing concern in educational, public health, and public policy spaces, with severe implications for health and well-being. In particular, young adults are at particularly high risk of TFSV victimization, which is compounded by structural sexism, heterosexism, colonialism, racism, and…

Different patterns of sexting behaviors were examined to provide a more nuanced understanding of the context in which sexting occurs among adolescents. Participants were 1,000 Canadian adolescents (50.2% girls) between 12 and 18 years (M[subscript age] = 15.21, SD = 2.00) who completed measures of sexting, cyber bullying and victimization,…

Cyberbullying in the workplace is a growing phenomenon and universities are no exceptions. As teachers and researchers, university professors interact online with a diversity of people, placing them in a vulnerable position towards cyberbullying. Despite this situation, measures in universities are not well known and studies on the subject are…

Cyberbullying is a problem in educational settings, and much of the research has focused on the development of effective prevention and response initiatives. Because of the vulnerability of children, cyberbullying research and intervention programs have largely targeted elementary students. A growing body of research has shown that cyberbullying…

Many Canadian universities actively recruit international students but do not adequately explore or support their unique needs. This article investigates the early stages of additional language socialization occurring among international master's students in an English for academic purposes (EAP) program. Student perspectives on community…

Educator wellbeing has broad implications for students and schools. Current approaches to address this problem are generally resource-intensive. This trial used novel nudges to increase wellbeing and decrease burnout among educators and other school-based faculty. We designed a light touch intervention where T1 received evidence-based wellbeing…

This paper shares preliminary findings from a reflective inquiry into the nature of collaboration and mentorship through digital spaces within a national SSHRC-funded research team the authors form a part of. Our research collaboration has been marked by particularly close friendships, co-creation and mutual learning that have helped to deepen our…

Background: Bullying and poverty are each associated with poor health in adolescents. We examined socioeconomic differences in the association of bullying and health.

Social movements are at the forefront of fighting for another world as conceptualised through Arundhati Roy's portal. COVID-19 and state measures imposed to contend with it have severely impacted not only the activism of movements, but also their capacity to learn. Translocal social movement learning offers one way in which such learning can…

This paper will describe ToM…

Objectives: People who stutter (PWS) experience stigma-based health inequalities that can negatively impact their quality of life. Yet, few interventions in the literature are explicitly designed to address these systemic disparities. The Responsible Innovation in Health (RIH) framework offers a promising foundation for developing health…

WhatsApp messages can be such a rich source for creative and spontaneous language geared toward more individual expression. WhatsApping provides us with a unique view into language and is an interesting prototype for thinking about language use, the various functions of this variety and how it is used to render different kinds of meanings. This…

In this paper, we emphasize the value of an online community of practice (OCoP) for bringing together faculty from across disciplines to share and leverage their diverse expertise and perspectives. We examine the transition of an interdisciplinary community of practice through the pivot into an online environment for engagement, communication, and…
