DFC SOCIAL MEDIA
The Division offers a number of social media options to allow members to keep in touch and promote Division activities. Before posting, please review our social media policies.
Listserv
The DFC listserv is a way for members to keep in touch about research opportunities, position announcements, grant proposal information, current events, and more!

Expectations for Listserv and other Social Media Participation
The Social Media outlets used by the DFC to share information and promote Division activities are a valuable source of information to our members. Posts made by members to our public forums should be focused on topics related to the study of gender and crime, feminist criminology, and professional issues related to gender.
The DFC listserv and related social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are professional academic forums in which members are expected to adhere to standards of courtesy, decorum, and respect in their communications. As such, listserv members and users of other DFC social media are expected to refrain from sending communications containing:
- profanity
- personal (ad hominem) attacks
- derogatory remarks
- threats
The above requirements apply to messages posted directly to the listserv and publicly viewed social media outlets, as well as to private, “off list” messages sent to DFC listserv members in response to a post or ongoing dialogue.
Penalties for Problematic Social Media Participation
Failure to comply with this policy will result in suspension of privileges to post to the relevant DFC social media outlet for one year, pursuant to a DFC Executive Board vote. The offending member’s e-mail account will be removed from the relevant outlet (listserv, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and any additional e-mail accounts registered to this member will be removed as well. After the one year suspension period is completed, the DFC Executive Council may vote to reinstate the member’s e-mail account. If problematic behavior persists once the member is returned to the social media outlet, the DFC Executive Council reserves the right to permanently ban the member from the DFC online community.
