PRIVATE: Slavery and Disease: Medical Knowledge in the Atlantic World

Common Press Studio User Agreement To maintain a safe and productive environment for users, staff, and our antique equipment, all studio users must agree to the following: *

Demonstrate a commitment to using all equipment and materials respectfully and correctly. Studio equipment can pose a risk of bodily injury if not used properly. Please ask staff for assistance whenever you are unsure about a process. Approval from staff is required before attempting experimental printmaking methods or using non-standard papers, printing plates, inks, or cleaning products.

Take appropriate safety precautions at all times. This includes tying back long hair and removing loose, dangling, or flowing clothing and jewelry. Hands must be washed thoroughly after handling type. Material Safety Data Sheets are available to learn the potential toxicity of studio materials. Use of the studio is permitted only while sober and clear-headed.

Demonstrate respect for diversity in all its forms, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, and socioeconomic background. Assume the positive intent of other users.

The studio is a place to work and learn; users who are not actively engaged in one or both of these actions may be asked to leave. Interpersonal conflicts must be addressed outside of the studio space so as not to disrupt other users. If you wish to discuss a conflict or incident, please contact Jessica Peterson, Director of Common Press, or Mia D’Avanza, Director of the Fisher Fine Arts Library.

Access to Common Press is a privilege contingent upon professional and respectful conduct. Disrespectful behavior toward staff, fellow users, or studio equipment may result in suspension of studio access.
