code of conduct

We want the Keystone DH Conference to be a welcoming, supportive, and comfortable space for all participants, and we will work to make it a harassment-free environment.

We encourage the following supportive behaviors:

• + Use welcoming language that honors pronoun preferences and favors - gender-neutral collective nouns
• + Encourage and yield the floor to those whose viewpoints may be under-represented in a group
• + Seek concrete ways to make physical spaces and online resources more universally accessible
• + Accept critique graciously and offer it constructively
• + Give credit where it is due

We will not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, country of origin, age, disability, physical appearance, body size, religion, veteran status or other protected class status; discriminatory or offensive images in public spaces; intimidation; stalking; harassing or unwanted photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants violating the anti-harassment policy may be warned or asked to leave by conference organizers.

Recording/Social Media Policy

We see the conference as a place to share information, not only with other participants, but also with those who may not be able to attend. Sessions are, by default, considered open and can be written about on social media and photographed. Each session can decide to adopt different rules at the beginning of the session as long as it informs all participants who join the session.
