Digital Humanities Utah is committed to creating and supporting inclusive, diverse, and equitable communities of practice. We strive to be a welcoming organization as well as the focal point for a digital humanities culture that is anti-oppression and anti-racist, recognizes intersectionalities, and works compassionately across differences. We know that the best problem-solving and critical thinking happens when people with a wide array of experiences and perspectives come together to work in comfort and safety as peers. We therefore expect participants in DHU6 to help create a thoughtful and respectful environment where these interactions can take place.<\/span><\/p>\n This Code of Conduct applies to all sessions, meals, and events sponsored by the 6th Utah Symposium on the Digital Humanities (DHU6).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n DHU6 is dedicated to providing a conference experience that is free from all forms of harassment and inclusive of all people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Small actions you can take will help us meet this goal.

However, this policy is not intended to constrain responsible scholarly or professional discourse and debate. We welcome engagement with difficult topics, done with respect and care. Should your presentation include graphic or otherwise triggering language or imagery, please let the audience know at the top of your presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n We value your presence and constructive participation in our shared community and thank you for your attention to the comfort, safety, and well-being of fellow DHU6 collaborators and attendees. We will not tolerate harassment of DHU6 attendees in any form. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please follow the procedures outlined below.<\/span><\/p>\n DHU6 attendees who are asked to stop harassing or intimidating behaviors are expected to comply immediately. Those who violate our Code of Conduct may be warned or expelled at the discretion of the organizers.<\/span><\/p>\n At the Conference, DHU6 staff can be identified by their name badges. Active bystanders or those experiencing harassment themselves may elect to have an in-person, confidential conversation with a staff member. Staff will then assist participants by providing escorts as needed, otherwise helping those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event, and in reporting the incident to the appropriate campus office for follow-up.<\/span><\/p>\n All reports and inquiries will be handled in confidence.<\/span><\/p>\nHow to Be<\/span><\/h2>\n
