Clarifying the blurred lines between cyberbullying and digital citizenship
Define the Line is a research program based at McGill University and directed by Dr Shaheen Shariff, an international expert who has pioneered research on cyberbullying over the last decade. Through website, research projects (Facebook, SSHRC), and outreach initiatives, Define the Line aims to help clarify the blurred lines between cyberbullying and digital citizenship, with a focus on policymaking, education and law. The research program contributes to an important niche in mobilizing knowledge about the emerging landscape of legal, policy and educational responses as they evolve to address new challenges, as digital and social media take over as central mediums of communication in society.
