Dr. Luke Brunning is a Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the University of Leeds, affiliated with the School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures. He holds a DPhil from Oxford University and has previously taught at the University of Birmingham and conducted postdoctoral research at Oxford. His research focuses on romantic relationships, emotions, applied ethics, and moral psychology, with particular attention to issues like polyamory, jealousy, asexuality, and the ethics of modern relationships.
Dr. Brunning's academic journey includes a BA and MPhil from King’s College London, followed by a DPhil on 'Integration, Ambivalence, and Mental Conflict' supervised by Prof. Edward Harcourt. He is a member of the Centre for Love, Sex, and Relationships and actively supervises postgraduate students like Lucy Shanahan. His work explores how ethical principles intersect with emotional experiences in personal and societal contexts.
His research trends emphasize the philosophical analysis of love's complexities, including its intersections with technology (e.g., AI), healthcare ethics, and social justice. Themes like forgiveness, blame, and moral responsibility frequently appear in his publications. Though currently no scientific awards are listed, his contributions to applied ethics and relationship philosophy have established him as a key figure in these areas.
