| | | | Save the Date! The Embassy of Liechtenstein, Washington D.C. Policy Roundtable Event New Technologies and Cybersecurity: The Role of Gender March 30th, 2021 | 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm EST
Many discussions on gender and new technologies, including cybersecurity, focus on the lack of women in the field. While this is a critical question, this roundtable will focus on what it means to integrate a gender and feminist perspective in discussions around new technologies and cyber security. How does gender influence our thinking about cybersecurity? What are the gendered impacts of lethal autonomous weapons (drones) and how are gender perspectives included in current global governance efforts.
Remarks:Ambassador Kurt Jaeger, Ambassador of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the United States of America
Moderator: Chantal de Jonge Oudraat, President - Women In International Security (WIIS)
Panelists:
- Katharine Millar, Assistant Professor in International Relations - London School of Economics
- Sarah Shoker, Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science - University of Waterloo
- Tarah Wheeler, Cyber Project Fellow, Harvard University & International Security Fellow, New America
- Lauren Wilcox, Deputy Director of the University of Cambridge Center for Gender Studies, Cambridge University
