Code of conduct

Research By The Sea is an inclu­sive event based on treat­ing all indi­vid­u­als respect­ful­ly, regard­less of gen­der, sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, age, dis­abil­i­ty, eth­nic­i­ty, reli­gion (or lack there­of), or soft­ware pref­er­ences. So please don’t be nasty or mean. Be nice. Be con­sid­er­ate. Be civ­il. It’s easy.

If you are being harassed, notice that some­one else is being harassed, or have any oth­er con­cerns, please con­tact a mem­ber of con­fer­ence staff. They will be clear­ly vis­i­ble, wear­ing “Clearleft” T-shirts.

Harass­ment includes offen­sive ver­bal com­ments relat­ed to gen­der, age, sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, dis­abil­i­ty, phys­i­cal appear­ance, body size, race, reli­gion, 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 behav­iour must imme­di­ate­ly com­ply. If a par­tic­i­pant engages in any of the afore­men­tioned behav­iour, we may take any action we deem appro­pri­ate, from warn­ing the offend­er to imme­di­ate­ly expelling the offend­er from Research by the Sea with no refund.

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. You can reach out to the events team for any incidents related to our events via events@clearleft.com.

The Clearleft events team will be happy to help participants contact any relevant internal or external actors to assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event, you can contact the team on events@clearleft.com.

We expect participants, speakers and sponsors to follow these rules throughout the conference.
