Code of conduct
By participating in this workshop, you agree to the following Code of Conduct
Why have a code of conduct?
The Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop is intended to be a space for everyone to speak freely without discrimination or harassment of any kind.
Terms of participation
Open, free-flowing discussion is what we're aiming for at the workshop, and with that in mind we ask all participants to be mindful of cultural and linguistic differences. We will not tolerate prejudice of any kind, and will not tolerate harassment or intimidation based on race, religion, ethnicity, language, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical or cognitive ability, age, appearance, or other group status.
In order to ensure a supportive and secure virtual environment, we ask you to:
- Ensure discussions and comments are focused on the work, and not on the person
- Not make comments that minimize a person’s experiences, identity, or safety
- Please ensure that you use your real name when joining the event as we will be cross-checking names with the registration list, and may remove participants if we cannot identify them
- Not share the Zoom invitation link with anybody who has not formally registered for the event
- Not initiate any public or private communications with other participants that are intimidating or harassing.
Participants will be removed from the event for any behaviour that violates this Code of Conduct. Once removed, it will not be possible for you to re-join the event.
Privacy
Please be mindful that not everyone wishes to appear on social media - we would advise you not to share videos or screenshots of presenters or their presentations without their permission.

If you have concerns
If you are involved in or witness any incidents that violate the Code of Conduct, you can report it to Paul Spence (paul.spence@kcl.ac.uk) and/or Naomi Wells (naomi.wells@sas.ac.uk). We will quickly and confidentially respond to any reported incidents, and we reserve the right to take actions we deem necessary at any time to respond to disruptive, intimidating or discriminatory behaviour.
