Safety, Conduct and Support

A Safe Space for Students and Staff

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology holds sexual and gender-based harassment, misconduct, bullying, and violence to be contrary to its core principles of respect, equality, and the rights of all to a safe and healthy environment.

The Department places a high priority on mutual respect, dignity, diversity and inclusion and expects professionalism from all members of the Sociology community. Like the university, it is committed to a zero tolerance policy against sexual misconduct, harassment, or bullying in any form by/against students or staff members.

The department has formed a committee on sexual harassment that strives to make this a safe space for students and staff at all times.

We also have a Care Unit and a graduate representative as direct points of contact should anyone need to reach out to us.

We want you to feel safe and comfortable in letting us know if you have experienced sexual misconduct, or have been witness to it. Please reach out to any members of the departmental Care Unit.
