About this book
This book describes innovative ways to do research about, and design interventions for, cyberbullying by children and adolescents. It does this by taking a narrative approach. How can narrative research methods complement the mostly quantitative methods (e.g. surveys, experiments, ….) in cyberbullying research ? And how can stories be used to inform young people about the issue and empower them? Throughout the book, special attention is paid to new information and communication technologies, and the opportunities ICTs provide for narrative research (e.g. as a source of naturally occurring stories on cyberbullying), and for narrative health interventions (e.g. via Influencers).
The book thus integrates research and insights from the fields of cyberbullying, narrative methods, narrative health communication, and new information and communication technologies.

About the editors
Lelia Green (PhD) began researching the role of the internet in the lives of Australian families in 2002. Since that time she has won over $2 million in funding with Australian Research Council grants, examining the digital lives of children from babyhood through to young adults. In 2006 she started working with the EU Kids Online Network and remains committed to long-term research partnerships with European collaborators. Lelia's work with 9-16 year olds in international contexts has bought home to her the vital importance of supporting children who experience cyberbullying. It was this awareness and these interests that drew her to work with Professor Heidi Vandebosch via the European Commission-funded Marie Curie Actions International Research Staff Exchange Scheme, from which this book arose. Lelia is Professor of Communications in the School of Arts and Humanities at Edith Cowan University (Perth, Australia).
