Tufts Student Symposium in Cybersecurity Policy, March 6-7, 2020. Submissions, in the form of an abstract, are due October 23rd.
All areas of cybersecurity policy are welcome, from economic, legal, political science (including IR), public policy, sociological, to technical with policy implications, with the sole requirement that the work focus on policy issues in cybersecurity. Research submissions are encouraged, but expositions of known approaches to a particular area—a so-called “Systematization of Knowledge” approach—are also welcome. All submissions should include a well researched citing of the literature.
The meeting has two purposes: (i) to share research and (ii) to help create a community of young scholars in the new and highly interdisciplinary research area. Students, whether in undergraduate, professional, MA, MS, JD, or PhD programs, are encouraged to submit; postdocs are also welcome to do so.
The program will begin Friday, March 6 midday and run through late afternoon of Saturday, March 7. This interdisciplinary meeting will focus on six-ten submissions to the symposium. In the style of working meetings in political science and law, each paper will have a discussant leading the discussion, the purpose of which is to improve the paper prior to publication. The meeting will include a keynote given by Avril Haines on Friday afternoon and conclude mid-late Saturday afternoon with a short talk by Josephine Wolff.
Further details, including about submissions, can be found here.
