Code of Conduct

The PTK Symposium conference benefits from a diverse, dynamic, and welcoming community.  We trust that attendees will behave towards each other in a way that reflects the view widely shared by this community, that diversity and civility are strengths to be celebrated and fostered.

Furthermore, we believe that the Symposium will be more productive and enjoyable for everyone if a professional atmosphere prevails, meaning that all attendees may expect to

• be treated with courtesy, dignity and respect;
• be free from any form of discrimination, victimization, harassment or bullying;
• enjoy an environment free from unwelcome behaviour, inappropriate language and unsuitable imagery.

If problems covered by this code of conduct arise, please contact Kathy Sharp or Heather McHale directly, or send an email to ptk-symposium-plan@umd.edu.
