16. CONFERENCE CODE OF CONDUCT
Soul Wounds: Trauma and Healing across Generations brings together
scholars, medical professionals, and activists who study trauma and healing and
provides a dynamic and interactive venue in which they can grapple with a wide
range of issues and approaches pertinent to the field. We encourage our
audience to bring their individual expertise with the hope that this format will
give rise to points of action and a research agenda. We believe our community
should be truly open for everyone. As such, we are committed to providing a
friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all participants free from
discrimination for any reason, including on the basis of gender, sexual
orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, age, and religion.
We invite all sponsors, volunteers, speakers, attendees, and media, and other
participants to help us realize a safe and positive conference experience for
everyone.
Speakers are asked to frame discussions as openly and inclusively as possible
and to be aware of how language or images may be perceived by others.
Participants may—and should—exercise their option to leave a session or a
conversation.
