“Cybersecurity is typically conceived as a technical topic. In reality, the topic is multi-disciplinary, and some aspects of the topic are best understood through a social science lens.  This course addresses the social, political, legal, criminological, and economic dimensions of cybersecurity through a social science framework.  Students are introduced to a human-factors approach to understanding cybersecurity threats.  Attention is given to the social factors that contribute to cyber incidents and the political and legal mechanisms that are developed to control the behaviors of those who create risks in cybersecurity incidents.  The class also explores how cybersecurity is studied by social scientists in psychology, political science, criminology, economics, sociology, international studies, and other social science disciplines.”

In this class, I am learning about cybersecurity and how it connects with social sciences. I’m hoping to gain an understanding as to what I might want to do in the future and which fields would be interesting/good to me when it comes to cybersecurity.
