Abstract
ABSTRACTThis poster describes the research design to study the information behaviours of individuals with diverse sexual orientation and gender identities (SOGI) and how they negotiate between their personal privacy and their social and public identities in the digital world. In Australia, there is no legal right to privacy, and our increasing reliance on new technologies has created legal and regulatory challenges, especially for vulnerable populations such as persons with diverse SOGI. The poster will outline the literature review, research questions, aims, and methods guiding the research. Methods proposed for this study include an analysis of legal frameworks and policies, a survey of approximately 100 people with diverse SOGI about their use of digital social technologies, and in‐depth interviews with a sub‐set of self‐selected survey participants. Information behaviour theories and privacy literacy theories will be used to understand participants' behaviours and experiences regarding how they use digital social media, and the practices they have in place to manage their privacy.
