We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all attendees, speakers, and staff at the “Defining Ourselves” conference. All participants are expected to treat one another with dignity and respect.
Please note that Brandeis University staff, including conference organizers and volunteers, are mandatory reporters under university policy and Massachusetts law. This means that if they become aware of incidents involving harassment, discrimination, or any form of misconduct, they are obligated to report it to the appropriate university authorities.
We encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses behavior that violates this code to reach out to conference staff or Brandeis officials. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Code of Conduct or reporting procedures, please contact us at iasemeconference@gmail.com.
Please note that mandatory reporting is a recent change, and we will continue to update this page with resources and policy information as we identify best practices.
