IAWBH Master Class 11-12 September 2025 

Our IAWBH Masterclass 2025, Global contextualizing of workplace bullying: Asia and Africa in focus, was held online on 11-12 September 2025. The Masterclass addressed the issue of context, with a specific focus on the Global South, and particularly Asia and Africa. The Masterclass was purpose-designed for an international community of workplace bullying researchers and practitioners who are interested in context, the Global South, Asia and/or Africa. We learned about context from local voices, including speakers from Asia (Miwako Wakui, Mahshid Bagestani, Emad Al Muala, Saima Ahmad, Joon Park) and Africa (Ngao Motsei, Amarachi Amaugo, Mary Naana Essiaw, Brightness Mangalothi), from the Masterclass organizers (Premilla D’Cruz, Ernesto Noronha) and eminent experts such as Charlotte Rayner, Hazel Mawdsley and Jose-Maria Leon Perez. The Masterclass' take-aways included learnings about context in terms of conceptualization methods and local insights, which attendees can apply in their own settings. The Masterclass was recorded is available here. Day One and Day Two.
