Field, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>South</strong> Carolina Understanding Bullying: How, Where, Why & What We Can Do About It Cynthia Lowen Cynthia Lowen, who received her BA at Colorado <strong>College</strong> and her MFA in creative writing at Sarah Lawrence <strong>College</strong>, is the co-filmmaker <strong>of</strong> Bully, a feature documentary following a “year in the life” <strong>of</strong> America’s bullying crisis, which she developed, produced, and wrote in partnership with Emmy and Sundance Award-winning director Lee Hirsch. Filmed over the course <strong>of</strong> the 2009-2010 school year, Bully opens a window onto the pained and <strong>of</strong>ten endangered lives <strong>of</strong> bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic, and economic borders. It documents the responses <strong>of</strong> teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviors that defy “kids will be kids” clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents, youth, and educators to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities, and in society as a whole. Drawing from Bully’s success, Lowen and her team <strong>of</strong> filmmakers created The Bully Project Social Action Campaign, a collaborative effort in partnership with multiple organizations, foundations, brands, and corporate sponsors that aims to equip parents, kids, educators, and advocates with the tools to transform their communities. Lowen has lectured extensively on bullying and school climate, as well as the social impact <strong>of</strong> documentary films and the future <strong>of</strong> trans-media projects, speaking at The Open Society Foundations, the International Conference on Human Values, the Producers Guild <strong>of</strong> America, New York Women in Film and Television, Colorado <strong>College</strong>, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Northern Iowa, the Tribeca Film Festival’s Tribeca Talks series, and Silverdocs, in addition to numerous Q&A’s for groups such as the National Center for Learning Disabilities, the United Federation <strong>of</strong> Teachers, student groups, and many others. We are pleased to have her at the 2013 PDS National Conference to share her thoughts on “Understanding Bullying: How, Where, Why & What We Can Do About It.” 9:15 A.M. - 9:30 A.M.
