LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor this week will help performer Lady Gaga launch a group to promote tolerance and empowerment among youth.
Susan Swearer is a psychology professor and anti-bullying expert at UNL. She will be among the scholars speaking Wednesday at Harvard University as part of Lady Gaga’s Born this Way Foundation.
Swearer says she is honored to be part of the new group and looks forward to bringing her Bullying Research Network to another national stage.
Swearer says Lady Gaga is doing more than giving lip-service to a cause. She says the pop singer is thoughtfully and intellectually trying to solve the problem of bullying.
