Workplace mobbing researchers plan global conference

The third annual Niagara Conference on Workplace Mobbing (NCWM) is open for proposals and registration and will occur hybrid, online and in person, at Niagara University, New York, on July 20-22, 2026.

The NCWM is the conference of the World Association for Research on Workplace Mobbing (WARWM), which publishes the Journal of Workplace Mobbing. It has been my honor to serve as an inaugural organizer of the conference, organization, and journal. (Read about previous conference convenings at The Savory Tort.)

Following is the call for proposals, recently dispatched by my friend and colleague at Niagara University, the president of the WARWM, Dr. Qingli Meng. Dr. Meng spoke to Tegan Osmond, a workplace abuse recovery coach, about workplace mobbing in 2025. More information is at the conference website.
