Cambridge Forum hosts a panel discussion on bullying as part of their fall series, 'How We Live Today.'

A panel featuring psychologist Elizabeth Englander, storyteller Odds Bodkin, and psychiatrist Tracy Vaillancourt discusses the phenomenon of bullying among young people. Bullies have been around since Hercules; how are they different today? What can we learn from the accumulated wisdom of our culture as well as from the modern discoveries of neuroscience about the impact of bullying? About ways to respond to bullies? And about ways to change this destructive behavior?
