The Society of the Economics of the Household (SEHO) fully endorses the American Economic Association (AEA) Policy on Harassment and Discrimination and Code of Conduct, from which the text below is taken.

 In particular, principles of professional conduct should guide SEHO members in all their activities, including anonymous referee reports and website posts. 

SEHO is open to all researchers in household economics, regardless of their age, sex, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, health condition, marital status, parental status, genetic information, political affiliation, professional status, or personal connections.

SEHO members have both an individual responsibility for their own conduct, and a collective responsibility to promote professional conduct. Harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated. Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:

• Solicitation of emotional or physical intimacy despite expressions or indications that it is unwelcome.

• Solicitation of emotional or physical intimacy accompanied by real or implied threat of personal or professional harm.

• Intentionally intimidating, threatening, harassing, or abusive actions or remarks (both spoken and in other media).

• Prejudicial actions or comments that undermine the principles of equal opportunity, fair treatment, or free academic exchange.

• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following.

• Harassing, photography or recording without express consent.

• Sustained or aggressive disruption of talks or other activities that undermine free academic exchange.

• Physical assault (including unwelcome touching or groping).

• Real or implied threat of physical harm.

It is the responsibility of each individual member to be proactive in helping to mitigate or avoid harm when the member witnesses any unacceptable behavior.

Individuals violating these principles will not be admitted to SEHO events and actions will be taken to denounce them.
