Ethical Conduct Agreement
One of the main goals of Math For All is to create a welcoming environment for all participants. We wish for every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at our conference. For that reason, we ask you to be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others. We all have a bias and make mistakes. With an open mind and a willingness to apologize, we can create a safe space for everybody.
Harassment or discrimination of any kind based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression will not be permitted.
Hate speech is not permitted at the conference. We want to clarify that hate speech does not include the criticism of institutions or governments, but rather that of individuals or groups of individuals, and that we welcome uncomfortable conversations that stimulate a growth mind set.
If there is a situation during the conference that makes you feel unwelcome, we ask you to please talk to one of the organizers so we can help you as best as we can.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Boston College is located on the traditional land of the Massachusett, Pawtucket, and their neighbors the Wampanoag, and Nipmuc Peoples. Indigenous people have lived in the area for centuries before the arrival of colonizers and still live here today. We acknowledge that Boston College enjoys its location and success in part due to the genocide and cultural repression of these people.
