Purpose of list 

The Southern Memory Worker email list is a means to create and support an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community of practice around memory work in the US South. 

Please use this list to ask questions about memory work, share relevant news and project updates, and build connections with like-minded practitioners. 

Code of conduct 

Harassment of any type will not be tolerated, including:

• Comments that reinforce oppressive power dynamics related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, national origin, or economic status

• Deliberate intimidation

• Sustained disruption of discussion

• Unwelcome sexual attention

• Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease

• Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent 

In addition to avoiding harassment, we encourage the following behavior:

• Respecting the effort that others put into their work

• Accepting critique graciously and offering it constructively

• Giving credit where it is due

• Assuming the best intentions from other parties

If list moderators determine that harassment has taken place, they may:

1. Issue a warning;

3. Block people from all future SMW projects 

This Code of Conduct benefited from the examples shared by Digital Library Federation, In the Library With the Lead Pipe and the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship.
