There was a terrific interdisciplinary workshop this week at MIT on
"security and human behavior". Organized by Ross Anderson and
Bruce Schneier, the idea was to bring together security researchers
from diverse fields who don't normally talk with each other: computing,
psychology, economics, criminology, sociology, etc.
There weren't any new earth shattering research results presented;
rather
the idea was to inspire security thinkers who should be learning from
each
other (but often don't) to reach outside their own disciplines.
There's a
lot to learn.
Bruce's comments, with links to an agenda and position papers, are on
his

Ross liveblogged the sessions at:

I recorded most of the sessions, for those who enjoy listening to hours
of noisy, out-of-context audio of events they didn't attend. MP3s can
