CHCI Listservs

CHCI maintains a number of listservs for its members:

Joining & Preferences

  • Joining: To join a group, visit the group page linked above and request to join. Alternatively, visit groups.google.com and search for the group name using one of the email addresses above in the search bar. Either way you reach the page, click “Ask to Join Group” and a group administrator will grant you access.
  • Google / Non-Google Emails: Members who subscribe with an email account managed through Google are encouraged to use Google's web view (groups.google.com) to interact with the list. Within the web view, email threads will be displayed as topics. You may reply directly within a thread, or begin your own topic by starting a new thread, or “new conversation.” Members who wish to subscribe with a non-Google account will interact with the list via email.
  • Subscription Preferences: By default, when you join a Google Group your settings are set to send you each individual post as an email. We recommend updating your email subscription preferences by clicking on "My Membership Settings" and select to receive new posts and comments as a digest, abbreviated, or or not at all. There is also an option to uncheck a box for subscribing to updates to conversations where you have contributed a post.

Troubleshooting

We’re sorry that you’re experiencing technical difficulties with this group. Please first consult Google’s instructions for joining and managing a Google Group membership. If you continue to have trouble, please contact us at info@chcinetwork.org.

Conduct & Harassment Policy
By joining and participating in our listserv, you are agreeing to the terms of CHCI’s Anti-Harassment Policy. We reserve the right to remove subscribers and/or refuse subscription at any time without warning or explanation. We offer these additional guidelines for the purposes of this listserv:

  • All communication on the listserv should be professional, respectful, and constructive. Inevitably there will be disagreements on different topics, but before responding to a message carefully consider whether your response might make the listserv seem an unsafe or unwelcoming space for particular individuals, their voices, and their communities.

  • Recognize and acknowledge your positionality. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, and some of those backgrounds and experiences are more privileged than others. Work to create space for people with different perspectives and experiences from your own, especially if they have been excluded or marginalized in the discussion.

  • Avoid contacting individuals on the listserv directly with critical or argumentative content unless their message to the listserv specifically welcomes that interaction. While such communication can have the best intentions, when unsolicited it can also feel like a targeted effort to silence or limit their voice in the discussion.

  • Avoid sending spam, advertisements of products or services, solicitations, or other postings with commercial purpose.

  • Avoid sending any copyrighted material to the listserv.

  • Avoid uploads and certainly large attachment files to the listserv.

  • Please do not send subscription requests to the list address itself; reference the available instructions for subscription changes.
