About us

The Ethical Dating Online project was established by Dr Luke Brunning and Dr Natasha McKeever, who also run the Centre for Love, Sex, and Relationships at the University of Leeds. Their research focuses on the philosophy of intimacy, and they write and teach extensively on relationships, love, ethics, and the emotions.
