Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

  • Deliberate misgendering or use of dead names
  • Use of slurs and other dehumanizing language
  • Doxxing (posting or threatening to post personally identifying information like addresses and phone numbers)
  • Discriminatory “jokes” and language
  • Intentionally disruptive behaviours (e.g. interrupting speakers, spamming, trolling)
  • Sexually objectifying or harassing comments
  • Bullying
  • Threats or acts of violence

The Learning Network reserves the right to remove anyone who engages in harassing behaviour from the Forum. If you notice this behaviour, please report it by either sending a Zoom chat to the panelists or by emailing vawln@uwo.ca.

Audio and visual recordings of the events are not allowed. The Learning Network will release a recording at a later date if available.
