Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Workplace bullying is becoming increasingly prevalent. Research examining intimate partner violence (IPV) and workplace bullying (WB) victims/targets demonstrates that targets of these two behaviours often share common abusive experiences. The Power Control Wheel was initially designed to help IPV victims/survivors identify patterns of abuse and intervene with male batterers/instigators. This project has adapted elements of the Power Control Wheel to assist individuals to identify and describe personal experiences with bullying behaviours in the workplace.

To learn more about how this wheel can be used to help victims name the tactics that their targets use, Dr. Hannah Scott explains the components of the wheel in this “Beyond the Walls” talk, in partnership with Oshawa Public Libraries.
