Emerging Book Cultures aims to provide a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
- Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, etc.
- Sexual images in public spaces
- Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
- Harassing photography or recording
- Sustained disruption of talks or other events
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Unwelcome sexual attention
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference.
Reporting:
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. You can make a personal report by speaking with one of the conference organizers in person, or, alternatively, via email (marjorie.burge@colorado.edu; matthias.richter@colorado.edu). You may also submit an anonymous report here.
