Code of Conduct
Our goal is to bring a community of educators together for an UnSymposium centered around teaching during the pandemic. We value the participation of each attendee and want all of our guests to have an enjoyable and memorable experience.
Accordingly, all guests are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the unconference and at all events, whether officially sponsored by NYU or not. At the Learning To Teach Creative Technologies Remotely UnSymposium, all attendees, speakers, and special guests are required to agree with the following code of conduct.
We expect cooperation from everyone joining us this year to help ensure a safe environment for the entire group.
The shorter version of Learning To Teach Creative Technologies Remotely UnSymposium’s code is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for all guests, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We have zero-tolerance for harassment of attendees in any form. Anyone violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the event organizers. This is a simple call for good-hearted human interactions throughout the weekend.
All communication should be appropriate for a workplace audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for this event venue, including all fireside presentations and lighting chats. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. This is a relaxed atmosphere but keep it professional.
Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for Learning To Teach Creative Technologies Remotely UnSymposium. The less quick version of harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to stop immediately. If a participant engages in harassing or aggressive behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem warranted, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference.
Contact Information: If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the event team immediately at lttctr2021 [at] gmail [dot] com. The planning team will also be identifiable and available throughout the entire event. The Learning To Teach Creative Technologies Remotely UnSymposium will be happy to do whatever we can to help those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.
