Anti-Harassment Policy


The Whedon Studies Association and the Slayage Conference on the Whedonverses are dedicated to providing a socially- and intellectually-rewarding conference experience for all conferees. Though our event is an academic one, we have always welcomed not only scholars and scholar-fans but also fans and fan-scholars. As a result, we wish to demonstrate our solidarity with those fan conventions that share anti-harassment policies on their websites and in their programs. Though we have no knowledge of past incidents of harassment and do not foresee such behavior occurring at our conference, we nonetheless make known here that harassment of any kind--verbal or physical--will not be tolerated at the Slayage Conference.

If a conferee feels intimidated or threatened, that person may contact the conference program chairs, local arrangements chairs, or roving superchairs who will be wearing name badges to identify themselves. Consequences for harassing a conferee may range from being asked to cease the offending behavior to being removed from the conference permanently.

Because we value the participation, safety, and comfort of people across the spectrums of gender, race, ability, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, and more, we require the highest moral and ethical conduct from all involved. Here's to a superb conference experience!

What Our Past Conferees have said . . .

"Can you even imagine anything more glorious? No. You can't."
                                                                  ---Nikki Stafford

"Slayage Conferences are excellent opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, people who recognize the quality of Joss Whedon's work and the significant impact popular narratives have on culture."
                                                                     ---Sherry Ginn
