NOSTER Statement on Social Safety and Professional Conduct
The members of NOSTER constitute a community of scholars dedicated to the study of religion in all its variety. Freedom of inquiry and expression is at the heart of this enterprise, and such freedom carries with it the responsibility of professional conduct. We are committed to providing an intellectually stimulating and enriching environment, marked by rigorous academic exchange of competing and sometimes conflicting ideas, in which all students, PhD candidates, staff and visitors feel welcome and respected. NOSTER seeks to foster collegiality, integrity, equality, and respect among its members. Any manifestation of conduct that undermines these core values, be it in the form of sexual misconduct, harassment, aggression, bullying, or discrimination, is unequivocally unacceptable.
Participants in NOSTER modules who have experienced such behaviour, whether as victims or witnesses, are encouraged to contact the Academic Director (Matthijs den Dulk, matthijs.dendulk@ru.nl) or the Curriculum Coordinator (Lieneke Timpers, lieneke.timpers@ru.nl). All such reports will be treated with strict confidentiality. Alternatively, participants can contact a confidential advisor (vertrouwenspersoon) at their home institution.
Breaches in professional conduct are typically addressed by ethics committees within the institution of the alleged offender. It has been agreed, however, that if such behaviour is reported to NOSTER, the Academic Director can take measures regarding participation in NOSTER activities, in consultation with the alleged offender’s university. For more details on this process, including provisions for appeals, please refer to the procedure outlined in our Internal Regulations (articles 6.3 and 10 Huishoudelijk Reglement).
