Ethnographic Approaches

Ethnographic approaches study security practices by observing and participating in them, uncovering the social and political assumptions embedded in security technologies.

Reflexivity in Security Research

Reflexivity in research requires researchers to critically examine their own biases and positions to avoid reinforcing dominant security narratives.

Collaborative Potential of STS & CSS

A collaboration between STS (Science and Technology Studies) and CSS (Critical Security Studies) can offer a broader understanding of security technology's social, political, and ethical implications.

The Role of Reflexivity in Collaboration

Continuous reflection on power dynamics and unintended consequences is essential for collaboration between STS and CSS.
