Our Summer Institute is dedicated to providing a harassment-free professional experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment in any form from Summer Institute participants. While we trust participants will be collegial, participants violating these guidelines for human dignity may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without stipend at the discretion of the conference organizers.
Harassment includes offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, as well as the use of sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recordings, abusive feedback on papers, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers will take prompt appropriate action, including expulsion from the conference without compensation.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a conference organizer immediately C. Cymone Fourshey ccf014@bucknell.edu or Kathi Venios klv006@bucknell.edu. All reports of concerns will be handled with discretion and transparency.
We support participants following these guidelines of human respect at conference workshops and conference-related events/activities.
