Join us on Thursday 27th of March 2025 for a one-day event dedicated to discussing the value of feminism in the theory and practice of Computer Science and Cyber Security. This interactive workshop will be held at the Bristol Watershed (1 Canon’s Rd, Bristol BS1 5TX) and will include a keynote from Felienne Hermans discussing her recent paper: ‘A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design’ (2024).

This event is a collaboration between The Research Institute for Sociotechnical Cyber Security (RISCS) and The Research Institute on Verified Trustworthy Software Systems (VeTSS), both funded by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

The aim of the event is to discuss the challenges affecting diversity in the theory and practice of Computer Science and Cyber Security, why change is desirable, and to initiate discussion about how the theoretical computer science and cyber security communities might address these challenges.

Registration for this event is now open.
