Following the release of Natasha McKeever's paper "Is Sex Work Inherently Gendered?" (available to read here: buff.ly/40j7mCM...), this week's @EthicsUntangled episode sees Jim Baxter speaking to Natasha about this topic.
Natasha has been examining this evidence and trying to come up with a definitive answer, to an explanatory question which also intersects with some ethical questions. For example, would the world be a better place if sex work was less gendered, or if it didn’t exist at all?
Ethics Untangled is produced by IDEA The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.

Natasha McKeever of IDEA has just had a new paper published. Entitled "Is Sex Work Inherently Gendered?" it is open access and available to read here: buff.ly/4gWI4BG This also links with the work Natasha is doing within @LeedsCLSR
In the first episode of @EthicsUntangled released in 2025 Jim speaks with Jon Fistein, a doctor and academic looking at the ethics of health data talked about what can be done about the fact that there's too much guidance, it's too complex, & that it's not always consistent.
As a result, most GPs don't really understand what the requirements are, let alone patients. and why the traditional idea of patient information being kept 'in the strictest confidence' isn't really going to cut it in today's data-driven healthcare context.

There is a new episode of Ethics Untangled released today, entitled What Is Touching Through? this episode is a conversation between our podcast host Jim Baxter, IDEA's own Robbie Morgan and Will Hornett from the University of Cambridge
As Robbie and Will explain, however, it's a metaphysical question which has ethical implications. For instance, since assault is defined as unwanted touching, we need to know whether touching has taken place before we can decide whether an assault has taken place.
