Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and the Institute of Child Development will co-sponsor Breaking down Bullying: A conversation with New York Times best-selling author Emily Bazelon on September 11, 2013 at 6:00 pm at the Minnesota Children’s Museum.
Bazelon is the author of Sticks and Stones, which has been described as a major new contribution to the national conversation on bullying. She will speak about the social, emotional and legal ramifications of bullying, the use of new technologies in bullying and effective school programs and strategies to handle bullying. Bazelon is a senior editor at Slate and a Truman Capote Fellow for Creative Writing and Law at Yale Law School.
The Institute of Child Development is sponsoring the talk to honor the work and legacy of Dr. Nicki Crick, professor at the Institute, who passed away last year. Crick was internationally known for her groundbreaking work on relational aggression.
