About Dr. Englander...
Developing Training, Research and Fieldwork at the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center
In 2004, I was awarded the first Presidential Fellowship at Bridgewater State University to found a Center to work on understanding and reducing bullying and cyberbullying. This was the beginning of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center, or "MARC," an academic Center in public higher education, committed to a public health model for bullying and cyberbullying prevention for the state of Massachusetts. We offer programs and services for other states as well. Today, we have approximately forty faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and support staff working at MARC. And we still deliver high-quality bullying and cyberbullying prevention services to K-12 schools and other stakeholders - usually, at no cost to those within Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center conducts research and provides many types of programs and services to schools. I am, at heart, a researcher, and I believe in basing the training materials I author on the research I conduct. You can read some of my research papers and other publications.
In addition to papers that are published primarily in academic journals, I've also authored a great many other materials that you may find useful. There are materials written for parents, teachers, and/or administrators about understanding and responding to bullying and cyberbullying. There are bullying and cyberbullying Curricula (for grades K-5, 6-12 and 9-12). (All are research-based and free.)
I've trained tens of thousands of teachers, counselors, and administrators, thousands of students, and have been teaching graduate and undergraduate students for about 20 years. I present at local and national conferences every year across the United States. I am the author of two books: Understanding Violence (three editions), published by Erlbaum, and Bullying and Cyberbullying, recently released by Harvard Education Press. Browse all my publications.
MARC offers parent presentations on several topics, usually requested by schools, PTOs and PTAs, public libraries, and community groups. At MARC, we emphasize practical and accessible Information in all our parent education sources. Presentations tend to focus on helping children avoid and cope with bullying and cyberbullying and/or children's use of social media and digital technology.
