Dear colleagues, I take the liberty of sending this announcement on behalf of friend and colleague Rikke Bjerg Jensen. Please, if interested, contact Rikke directly at rikke.jensen@royalholloway.ac.uk. With kind regards, Francesca --- We're hosting an Autumn School in London, UK, from 15 to 17 September 2026, to bring together ethnographers and cryptographers to discuss ways in which the two fields can be meaningfully brought into conversation. This is also the premise of our Social Foundations of Cryptography project; to ground cryptography in ethnography. The intention is to 'flip' the typical relationship between the computer and social sciences, where the latter has traditionally ended up in a service role to the former. Rather, we want to put cryptography at the mercy of ethnography. But how do we do this? How do we as ethnographers retain the richness of ethnographic field data in conversations with cryptographic work? Indeed, our project has already highlighted some limitations of our approach. It has brought to the fore concrete challenges in 'letting the ethnographic data speak' while still making it speak *to* cryptography. We're therefore excited to have an Autumn School to discuss such questions across ethnography and cryptography, through a series of talks, group discussions and activities.
