2. Religious, Political & Sensitive Topics

UF-AALR recognizes that legitimate academic research may address religion, politics, ethnicity, culture, gender, conflict, human rights, identity, and other sensitive subjects. Such topics are welcome when relevant to scholarly inquiry. Discussion must remain academic, evidence-based, respectful, and relevant to the conference and must not be used to promote hatred, discrimination, intimidation, personal attacks, or hostility toward individuals or communities.

4. Professional Presentations & Discussion

Presenters and participants should use appropriate academic language and avoid defamatory, inflammatory, discriminatory, or unnecessarily offensive material.
