• Address people using the names and/or pronouns they use. We respect each other's identities and ask rather than assume.
• If we take space, we make space. We are conscious of the way we take up conversational space in the classroom. Even if we are a more active participant, we remain curious and excited to hear others’ contributions. We are mindful and kind in our interactions.
• This is a brave space. We are here to learn and grow, listen and share. We are also willing to make mistakes, to admit when we have, and to accept feedback from others.
• We center active permission seeking and respect (e.g. using trigger and content warnings). Consent must always be prioritized.
• We prioritize and stand in solidarity with Black, brown, Indigenous, disabled, trans, queer, survivor, low-income, sex worker, and all other marginalized voices.
• We clearly communicate while acknowledging and validating other's feelings. We speak from the "I" perspective and our own experiences. We do our best not to antagonistically contradict, parrot, or dismiss others' contributions, especially those who are underrepresented within our space and our field. We will not interrupt each other or speak out of turn.
• We admit when we're wrong, apologize, and take accountability for our actions, centering impact over intent.
• We acknowledge power structures.
• We will prioritize marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort.
• Conversations and work involving personal information will be kept within the group unless you obtain explicit permission to share.
• No abusive or harassing language. This includes:
  • Hate speech and offensive comments related to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, language, neuro-type, size, ability, class, religion, culture, subculture, political opinion, age, skill level, occupation, or background
  • Threats of violence
  • Deliberate intimidation
  • Sexually explicit or violent material that is not contextualized and preceded by a considerate warning
  • Unwelcome sexual attention
  • Stalking or following
  • Persistent unwanted communication
  • Or any other kinds of harassment

You can email Cassie ([email protected]) or Sam ([email protected]) at any time if something is making you feel uncomfortable. We will prioritize the way in which you would like it to be handled.

Other In-Class Information

• Let Sam and I know in advance if you need to skip class or if you will be late. If you don’t, this will be counted as unexcused absence or unexcused lateness.
