GOSS specifically aims to share ideas, stimulate conversations, and build collaborations, and is dedicated to creating space for current perspectives and future directions related to gender, sexuality, and online safety. Centering gender and sexuality within usable privacy and security is critical to structure this subfield and forge new directions of research at the intersections of gender, sexuality, and online safety. We welcome scholars in user-centered security, privacy, online safety, HCI, gender and sexuality studies, legal and policy, trust and safety, or at any of the intersections of the above.
To participate in the workshop, participants are invited to submit a one-page position statement (excluding optional references) that details relevant previous research they have completed, future planned research, and to specify their interest for the workshop. Participants are encouraged to describe ongoing work or novel perspectives on gender and sexuality at the intersection of online safety, privacy and security.
Submitting a position paper to participate in GOSS is highly encouraged. Participation without submitting a position paper will be subject to space or other constraints. Position papers will not be considered "published" work and should not preclude publication elsewhere.
Position papers do not need to follow any submission templates, but should address their interest in the workshop. Position papers should not be anonymous. You will also be asked to indicate whether you are comfortable with us sharing your position paper in advance of the workshop, so attendees can familiarize themselves with the other attendees.
Position papers should be submitted as a PDF via the GOSS 2024 HotCRP: https://goss2024.usenix.hotcrp.com
With the input of the program committee members, five participants will be invited to give lightning talks during the workshop. The titles of the five lightning talks will be made available on the workshop website.
