A great deal of academic research suggests hacker culture is largely male dominated. The gender differences present have not been systematically explored, though several theoretical explanations have been offered by sociologists and criminologists. As such, it is necessary to examine the gendered experiences of hackers to expand our knowledge of how these experiences impact individuals and their behavior. This talk will explore this issue using real world data from web forums and interviews with active hackers. I will also discuss my ongoing study examining male and female hackers’ experiences, and call for interested individuals to participate in this research study. Audience participation is welcomed during the presentation to share personal feelings, beliefs, and knowledge about gender and hacking.
