University of Greenwich Conversations

Can We Stop Bullying? A Conversation with Professor Peter Smith. The debut podcast from the Institute for Lifecourse Development at the University of Greenwich, released in conjunction with Anti-Bullying Week and in association with the Anti-Bullying Alliance. If you're a teacher, childcare professional, parent, or anyone working with young people, you've likely witnessed or experienced the impact of bullying. But what can we do to mitigate the long-term harm caused by bullying? Can it be stopped? In this episode, Professor Peter Smith, a renowned child development expert from Goldsmiths University, joins Professor Claire Monks to discuss the causes, consequences, and solutions to bullying, including the unique challenges of cyberbullying. Together, they tackle a big question: can we put an end to bullying?

Chloe Emmott studied archaeology at the university of Liverpool for BA and MA, where she developed an interest in the history of archaeology, focusing on John Garstang’s excavations at Jericho for my MA thesis. This led her to a scholarship at Greenwich where she is studying the history of British archaeology in Palestine. Her archaeological background has provided with a different perspective on history, that has only occasionally left her horribly confused.  

Sebastian Rose is a PhD student and recipient of the John Charles Maynard Scholarship at the University of Greenwich. He obtained his BA from the University of Leicester in History and his MA in International Relations from Leiden University, where he focused on spectres of imperialism in Iran, communication and media. His current research focuses on the Indo-European Telegraph Department in the nineteenth and early twentieth century and British power in Iran and the Gulf. He is particularly interested in the intersection of empire, space and technology, telegraph stations and workers.
