Gender Regulation

Abstract

Viewing gender as an integral aspect of ‘bullying’ behaviours, especially related to issues of gendered and social hierarchies, is an important aspect of the poststructuralist approach to research on school bullying. As detailed in the previous chapter, many researchers (for example, Brown et al. 2007; Carrera et al. 2011; Ellwood and Davies 2010; Horton 2011; Meyer 2008a; Ringrose 2008; Ryan and Morgan 2011; Walton 2005b; Walton 2011; Warrington and Younger 2011) have encouraged a shift away from individualist and psychologised ideologies of bullying.
