Bystander.

Bystanders — the third parties who witness workplace mistreatment without being its direct target or perpetrator — are arguably the most important actors in the system. Their reactions determine whether an incident escalates, gets normalised, or gets named and stopped. My bystander research investigates the psychological resources, institutional conditions, and contextual cues that move a bystander from inaction to upstander intervention. Increasingly this work asks whether AI-augmented detection and prompts can help institutions design better bystander conditions in real time.
