Distinguished scholars from the United States and around the globe will present at the inaugural Niagara Conference on Workplace Mobbing, July 22-24, 2024, 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 & 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 and to register, visithttps://www.niagara.edu/workplace-mobbing-conference/.
