[Air-L] AoIR 2016 Conference Code of Conduct

Thu Sep 22 09:00:42 PDT 2016

Hi All,

Sorry to be a bit late to this important conversation. I agree that a code of conduct is a good idea, and I also agree that the code should be constructed carefully rather than quickly. This is something the Theorizing the Web committee has thought a lot about. If it's at all helpful, he is what we eventually crafted: http://theorizingtheweb.tumblr.com/post/79357700249/anti-harassment-statement

Best,
Jenny

While it isn't specific to the Berlin conference I would point out that
AoIR as an organization has a Diversity and Inclusivity Statement:
