PARTICIPATE Project Consortium: Parents and Technology in Cyberbullying: Intervention and Prevention for Future Experts  https://msca-participate.eu/

Project title: Growing up as an African or mixed-race in Greece: young Black people’s experiences of bullying.

Research fields: cultural studies, media studies, critical race studies

Objectives: The ESR will be working closely with young teenagers and young adults of African descent in Athens to explore whether they have experienced bullying, online and offline, as a result of their skin colour, and -taking an intersectional approach- also in conjunction with their gender, sexuality, and /or religion, either from Greeks or within the African community itself. They will liaise with SCI Hellas, the Greek branch of Service Civil Intnl and a key actor working with refugees, migrants and asylum seekers from African countries in Greece. The ESR will gain access to a community difficult to infiltrate and highly cautious towards the host country. They will also be able to have access to parents of African descent and talk about how the latter make sense of their offspring’s experiences of bullying either on account of their race, gender, sexuality and/or religion while in Greece. The ESR will conduct qualitative in-depth interviews (and group discussions where appropriate) with young teenagers and young adults (reminiscent of their teenage years) as well as with their parents; will engage with social media analysis and/or online stories.

Secondments: The host institution will be National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), GREECE.  The project includes two planned secondments at (1) Dublin City University, Ireland, Month 12, for 4 months and (2) Foróige, Ireland, at month 26 for 3 months.

University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, which was inaugurated on May 3, 1837, was initially housed in a renovated Ottoman building on the northeastern side of the Acropolis. This building has since been restored and now functions as the University Museum. Originally named the "Othonian University," after Otto, the first king of Greece, it consisted of four academic departments and 52 students. As the first university of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the broader Balkan and Mediterranean region, it assumed an important socio-historical role, which was pivotal in the development of specific forms of knowledge and culture within the country.
