The project is conducted as a three-year PhD scholarship in the field of Humanities and Educational Sciences at the University of Stavanger. The main aim is to gain insight into the views, beliefs and experiences regarding systemic cooperation to fight cyberbullying in the Norwegian educational context. The methods employed in this exploratory study include a systematic scoping review, semi-structured interviews and Q methodology. The PhD-project is done in relation to two other projects: Together against Cyberbullying (Sammen mot digital mobbing), and the Participate project. In line with the ecological approach, future programs targeting cyberbullying should involve a holistic approach, with partnerships across the communities. The results will be used to inform practitioners and policy makers, devise context-bound interventions and add to the existing research field.
