Appendix B

Reporting Harassment, Discrimination, and Other Concerns: An Interactive Guide for Duke Postdocs

Duke University’s website for postdoctoral scholars provides information about and access to “the options and processes for reporting harassment, discrimination, and other concerns” via an interactive guide (Duke University, 2021b). It links call-out boxes to urgent resources for mental and emotional well-being and physical safety, specifically a hotline, lifelines, and a crisis textline. In turn, these resources link to confidential and nonconfidential institutional resources and external crisis lines and helplines, as visualized in Box 1 below.
