This edited volume consolidates research from 32 countries in order to address the implications of the recent global wave of migration on educational opportunity, and assess link between migration and bullying in Europe and further afield.

Using data gathered from the European Commission-funded TRIBES project (Transnational Collaboration on Bullying, Migration, and Integration at School Level), chapters cover first-hand accounts, policy document analysis, and lived experience through comparative themes such as school climate, governmental policy, diversity and inclusion, technology, student voice, and school design to demonstrate how bullying can be understood as a threat to developing inclusive and diverse schools and societies globally. Rooted in a bio-ecological model that recognizes the intersectionality of migrant lives, ultimately the book will advance collaboration between stakeholders to ensure better integration, a reduction in bullying, and better safety and well-being for refugee and migrant students.

Reflecting the truly cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural, and intersectional nature of the volume, the book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in migration and education studies, bullying and cyberbullying, and the sociology of education. Policy makers and practitioners in psychology, technology, youth studies more broadly will also benefit from the book.
