Ethnographic Methods for Studying ‘At-Risk’ Communities in Information Security

Summary

This project explores how ethnographic research can reveal the social relationships, cultural practices and power structures that shape information security in diverse communities around the world. Drawing on fieldwork with activists, protesters, indigenous communities and women across different international contexts, it demonstrates how long-term, immersive engagement uncovers security experiences and challenges that are often missed by other research methods.
