Call for Submissions<\/h2>\n

Have you ever worked in a team consisting of human-centred security researchers and social scientists? Or maybe you talked to the \u201cother\u201d side at a conference, and wondered why it is so difficult to understand each other?<\/p>\n

Although human-centred security frequently \u201cborrows\u201d research methods from social sciences, such as interviews, surveys or ethnographic observations, there is a tension between social sciences and human-centred security. This tension is based on different ways of thinking, also called epistemological differences in the language of social sciences. In this workshop, we want to dive deeper into frictions, contradictions and misunderstandings between these disciplines, map them out in collaborative work.<\/p>\n

We solicit extended abstracts (max. 2 pages long) that describe points of friction between social sciences and human-centred security. These can be, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
