Narrative List Code of Conduct
The International Society for the Study of Narrative (ISSN) mailing list was created to foster scholarly discussion and debate about the field of narrative studies and to connect members of the ISSN with one another. When using the ISSN mailing list, please follow these guidelines:
- Do not engage in personal attacks, including attacking others’ beliefs, values, or character. This list was created to stimulate discussion and connection, not create personal contention or conflict
- Avoid non-constructive or off-topic messages
In addition, please consider the following best practices when posting to the list:
- With the exception of announcements of (or reference to) relevant publications or events, do not send spam, advertisements of products or services, solicitations, or other postings with commercial purpose to the ISSN list
- Avoid sending any copyrighted material to the list
- Please do not send subscription requests to the list address itself; reference the available instructions for subscription changes
- Do not upload anything that may have viruses to the list
- Avoid sending large attachment files to the list
