Year 1 Student - 2024 Cohort - Cohort 6

I have a Masters in English Literature and spent time working in the telecommunications industry in various areas before  looking for a career change. I am self-taught in cybersecurity and completed CompTIA Security+ whilst I began working in security audit and education. Through this, I became interested in the human elements of security and the pre-conceived notions and interpretations that are held about security. I am excited about exploring the various ways we construct meanings of security and contributing to the field.

From Privacy Poverty to Privacy Justice: A Framework for Sex Work and Beyond

I will draw from Amartya Sen’s capability approach to construct a framework to measure privacy poverty among sex-workers. This will allow systematic formulation of a list of minimum privacy provisions that sex-workers must possess to live a dignified life. This will be the first evidence base to mandate PETs policies for sex-workers, like accessibility guidelines for buildings. The framework will be presented at an appropriate abstraction to allow its adaption for other marginalised groups.
