Generation BULLIED 2.0: Prevention and Intervention Strategies for Our Most Vulnerable Students

«This book intervenes in the national epidemic of bullying in ways both exemplary in its analysis and hopeful in its call to action. Miller, Burns, and Johnson bring together a collection of scholars and advocates whose analyses and insights both deepen and complicate our understandings of bullying in its various and overlapping forms, of student experiences along multiple and intersected dimensions of diversity, and of what can be and is being done to make schools and communities more safe and inclusive for each and every student. Generation BULLIED 2.0 is a clarion call to action—read it today and join the movement!» (Kevin Kumashiro, author of Bad Teacher!: How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture)
«Generation BULLIED 2.0 takes personal stories of our most vulnerable youth to illustrate what must be done from the federal level to the classroom. Bullying is not and has never been solely a school issue, and Generation BULLIED 2.0 takes on the societal and cultural roots of bullying. This book will begin a conversation about what must be done to ensure all of our students are not only safe but also feel welcome in our nation’s schools.» (Jamie Nabozny, Safe School Advocate)
«Generation BULLIED 2.0 is not only a powerful text, it is a necessary one. Despite the so-called ‘new-openness’ the society professes around notions of difference and diversity, school-aged children and youth are still battling to be accepted for who they are and who they are becoming. In far too many schools it is acceptable to bully and harass students based on their sexuality and gender identity. This has to stop and this volume says it loudly, cogently, and clearly.» (Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor, Department of Curriculum & Instruction, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, Interim Assistant Vice Provost & Director, Chancellors & Powers Knapp Scholars Program, University of Wisconsin–Madison)
