((in)ter)dependence/Code of Conduct

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

This is an in-progress Code of Conduct. From the paper we were writing on: [TO ADD PHOTO OF MAP]

Encourage the following:
  • Respect differences
  • Practice active listening
  • Provide support and care (update those that have been absent)
  • Be aware of the space you take up.
  • Try not to dominate conversations and care about giving everyone space to speak or just be.
Discourage the following:
  • Discrimination
  • Violence
How to react when the code of conduct is not respected:
  1. Do not host interventions of the collective kind
    1. Try to communicate one-on-one where the situation allows for it (non-immediate intervention)
  2. De-escalation
  3. Diverging
  4. Asking others for help
Additional:
  • Try not to assume and address people based on appearance, or name. An author is not strictly female because their name ends with a. Attempt to use words that emphasize where your assumption of gender expression comes at play, eg. by using 'male-presenting' instead of male.
