Adults in Scotland & UK - University & Workplace Bullying
Looking for people willing to talk about bullying at university or in the workplace for a student documentary project
Hi everyone,
I’m a university student currently developing ideas for a short documentary/disclosure project. One of the topics I am researching is bullying that happens in adulthood — specifically at university or in the workplace.
At this stage, the project is still in development, so I cannot yet guarantee that this will be the final topic selected for production. However, before the final decision is made, we need to research the idea, consider possible contributors, and understand whether there are people who may feel comfortable sharing their experiences.
I’m looking to speak with people who have experienced bullying, harassment, exclusion, intimidation, or unfair treatment at university or at work. This could include being excluded by classmates or colleagues, being repeatedly mocked or humiliated, workplace bullying from a manager or coworker, or treatment that affected your confidence, studies, career, or wellbeing.
The project focuses specifically on bullying experienced as an adult in higher education or employment, rather than bullying at school.
Ideally, I am looking for people who are currently based inScotland, as this would make it possible for our student production team to travel and film an in-person interview if the project is selected. However, I would still be grateful to hear from people elsewhere in the UK, especially at this early research stage.
For now, I am only looking for an informal conversation with people who may potentially be interested in taking part. Nothing would be filmed, recorded, or shared without clear prior discussion and informed consent. We could also discuss options such as anonymity, not using your real name, changing identifying details, or filming in a way that does not reveal your identity.
If you feel comfortable speaking about your experience, please leave a comment or send me a private message. You are also welcome to ask questions before deciding whether you would like to take part.
Thank you for reading, and I’m sorry to anyone who has had to go through this.
