[Air-L] cyber security and gender

[Winifred Poster]

Hello Anja,

I’ve written on this topic:

"Cybersecurity Needs Women”, 2018.  Nature, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-03327-w

“Gender Trouble in Cyberwar:  Multiple Masculinities and Femininities of a Cyberspy in the War on Terror,” 2019.  Pp. 188-202 in Unsustainable Institutions of Men, edited by Jeff Hearn, Ernesto Vasquez del Aguila, and Marina Hughson.  London, UK:  Routledge.

If you want to email me, I have some other papers I can send as well.

> Hello people of AoIR,
> 
> Myself and colleagues are busy writing a paper on gendered differences
> in cybersecurity awareness (aka how well resilient are they against
> cybersecurity attacks) among ComSci and non-ComSci students at a South
> African university, and our findings include awareness determined by gender
> (mostly because the majority of ComSci students are cis male).
> 
> I have three questions for those of you who explore these intersections:
> 
> 1. Has anyone written about *describing* gender in this kind of research,
> beyond the binaries. It is 2019 after all, and I don't think writing about
> "male" and "female" participants isn't a very nuanced approach, despite the
> gendered nature of the findings. Any literature to recommend?
> 
> 2. Any literature on cybersecurity and gendered risks to recommend?
> 
> 3. Are there any knowledge communities whose research we should be looking
> at in terms of conferences, publications, research centers?
> 
> Many thanks!
