Biography

Darla J. Twale was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and previously a Professor and Coordinator of Higher Education at the University of Dayton and Auburn University, USA.

"This volume contains an indispensable annotated compilation of research-derived solutions that address bullying on all levels — individual, group and institutional — a first-ever-in-print feature that elevates it above the field. Twale provides an unrivaled breadth of theoretical explanatory factors for the workplace bullying phenomenon, leaving no idea unexplored."
—Gary Namie, Director, Workplace Bullying Institute, USA

"Twale utilizes the top scholars internationally on the issue of workplace bullying to capture and analyze the hidden yet potentially toxic dynamics in academe. Her analysis further considers the power differential and resulting trauma that arises when workplace bullying goes unchecked. This is a recommended read for how the workplace bullying epidemic continues to infect higher education."
