Inclusiveness

The organizers of this conference are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive conference. Although many of our organizing decisions (e.g., invited speakers, conference dates) were made before the Cultural Evolutionary Society published formal “Guidelines for organizing a diverse conference or workshop”, our decisions were made in the same spirit as this document, including emphasizing diversity in gender, ethnicity, geographical distribution, level of seniority, and scientific approach when inviting Plenary Speakers. Our call for abstract submissions explicitly incorporates recommendations from this document, including that abstract acceptance will aim to “achieve balance and representation with respect to ethnicity, geographical distribution, level of seniority, scientific approach, and other characteristics”. As recommended, this will include aiming for “no more than 60% of speakers of any one gender”.
