Project description The postodictoral researcher will be working with Professor Barry Brown at Stockholm University, in collaboration with the RISE cybersecurity laboratory.

The project's main purpose is to bring marginalised perspectives into cybersecurity, starting with looking at deviant use of smart home devices. This project will use methodologies such as participatory design (PD), as well as feminist theories to reflect on the agency and control of different groups of users as individuals, in families and in society in order to redesign and evaluate security systems with respect to improve our unequal, gendered world. To pursue this agenda, it adopts a Research through Design (RtD) approach drawing on methods such as technology trials, design workshops, participatory design, user observation in the wild (in their household) and in the lab (RISE Cyber Range), As part of ongoing collaborations, the project will connect the Swedish Node for Cybersecurity, Gender and IoT research group (GIoT) at UCL as well as the The Security, Privacy, Identity and Trust Engagement NetworkPlus at Manchester University
