The Housing Commons Research Centre seeks to connect with students, researchers, organizers, and community partners to discuss housing justice and collective land stewardship. We come from many places and paths, and we all bring stories, laughter, and life. How you show up is part of how we build community.
Our Commitment to a Supportive and Respectful Environment
We strive to foster a growth-oriented space where collaboration, trust, and shared learning flourish. Achievements are celebrated, diverse perspectives are valued, and everyone feels supported in an inclusive, harassment-free environment.
Guidelines for a Positive Community:
- Supportive Communication: Engage with empathy, respecting viewpoints, and work together to repair and restore trust.
- Constructive Feedback: Share ideas thoughtfully, avoiding language or actions that could make others feel unsafe or unwelcome.
Examples of Unacceptable Behaviour:
- Unacceptable behaviour includes making hurtful or disrespectful comments about someone’s race, gender, age, income, religion, ethnicity, or any other part of their identity. This also includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, and other forms of discrimination.
- Unwanted physical contact or offensive gestures
Reporting & Accountability:
- If you experience or witness harassment, report it via our Contact Us page.
- Violations may result in disciplinary action, including legal measures if necessary.
Our Promise:
- We are committed to cultivating a respectful, balanced environment where everyone feels valued and safe.
- Please help us evolve these guidelines. These are made better by the people in our community.
Thank you for supporting a culture of respect and integrity. For additional details, please see our guidelines.
