Homophobic bullying is the precursor to sexual harassment among US schoolchildren, according to a new study by educational psychologist Dorothy Espelage, who conducted the research while on the University of Illinois' education faculty. Co-authors on the paper were Jun Sung Hong, a professor of social work at Wayne State University; and U. of I. alumni Sarah Rinehart and Namrata Doshi.
