ACCESSIBILITY & RESPECT

ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION

We are committed to making the conference as accessible and as inclusive as possible. If you have accessibility or inclusion considerations or concerns, please get in touch and we will do our best to either accommodate or advise.

We have sought to select a venue that is accessible for people with mobility considerations. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns or enquiries.

For speakers or delegates with support workers (such as transcribers, signers, or assistants of any kind) we also offer them free registration – again, just get in touch.

If anyone would benefit from use of a portable hearing loop at the conference, please do get in touch as we can now arrange for this through the venue with some notice (by the end of August).

We urge all speakers to create accessible PowerPoints, the advice for which is here.

RESPECT

We are strongly committed to hosting an event which promotes diversity and inclusion. The conference is intended to be a space in which competing ideas and concepts can be explored freely and, fundamentally, where the rights, dignity, and value of all persons are respected.

We ask you to join us in ensuring the conference is a friendly, supportive, harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, religion, physical appearance, or other group affinity. All communication should be appropriate for an interdisciplinary academic and professional audience which includes people of many different backgrounds.

Please be kind to others. If you experience or observe harassment, please contact our conference team. This email inbox will be monitored by the conference team most days leading up to the event, and throughout the event in case you need assistance.
