(Of course, we think people should uphold this code outside conference activities too!)<\/p>\n<p>To the extent possible, we ask participants to make communication accessible to all participants, and to refrain from using spoken language without interpretation or live captioning.<\/p>\n<p>ICSLA is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical<br \/>\nappearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form at any conference venue, including talks, workshops, receptions, and social media. Conference participants who engage in harassing behavior may be expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.<\/p>\n<p>Harassment includes, but is not limited to:<br \/>\n\u2022 verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to hearing status, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, and\/or nationality<br \/>\n\u2022 sexual images in public spaces<br \/>\n\u2022 deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following<br \/>\n\u2022 harassing photography or recording<br \/>\n\u2022 sustained disruption of talks or other events<br \/>\n\u2022 inappropriate physical contact<br \/>\n\u2022 unwelcome sexual attention<br \/>\n\u2022 advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior<\/p>\n<p>If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the ICSLA organizers may take any action they deem appropriate to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes<br \/>\nwarning the offender, expelling them from the conference with no refund, and banning them from the conference in the future. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.<\/p>\n<p>If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please report this as soon as possible, either personally or anonymously. You can make an anonymous report through our online form. Although we cannot follow up on<br \/>\nan anonymous report with you directly, we will fully investigate it and take whatever action is necessary to prevent a recurrence.<br \/>\nYou can also speak directly with any member of the ICSLA organizing committee at the conference. These individuals will be wearing special name badges. When taking a personal report, we will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard (this may involve other event staff to ensure your report is managed properly). Once safe, we will ask you to tell us about what happened. This can be upsetting, but we will handle it as respectfully as possible, and you can<br \/>\nbring someone to support you. You will not be asked to confront anyone, and we will not tell anyone who you are.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, ICSLA staff will be happy to help conference participants contact venue management or local law enforcement, to provide escorts, or to otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your<br \/>\nattendance, and wish everyone a stimulating and enjoyable conference.<\/p>\n<p>The ICSLA Organizing Committee | icsla@bu.edu<br \/>\nBoston University Police Department | 617-353-2121<br \/>\nBoston University Sexual Assault Response Prevention Center | 617-353-7277<br \/>\nBoston Medical Center | 617-638-8000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To help ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone at ICSLA, all conference participants (including attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and volunteers) are expected to uphold the following code of conduct at conference venues and conference-related social activities.
