[Air-L] cyber security and gender

[Anja Venter]

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!
Anja
