Ryan Broll
Ryan Broll is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, where he also teaches and supervises students in the Criminal Justice and Public Policy (CJPP) and Criminology and Criminal Justice Policy (CCJP) programs.
Dr. Broll's research focuses on the well-being of children and youth who experience bullying or cyberbullying. His current research takes a strengths-based approach and addresses the individual, social, and cultural factors that promote resilience in the aftermath of bullying and cyberbullying. He also studies the consequences of bullying and cyberbullying involvement, and how adults prevent and respond to bullying and cyberbullying. Occasionally, Dr. Broll researches other marginalized populations (e.g., people experiencing homelessness), the social control of vulnerable populations (e.g., policing), and cybercrime.
Alongside his academic work, Dr. Broll writes about bullying and cyberbullying for a general audience and frequently appears in the media as an expert commentator.
