Jaime García Iglesias would like to invite you to the conference: 
Intimacy,Riskand Resilience in Online Dating 
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/intimacy-risk-and-resilience-in-online-dating-tickets-867362232787?aff=oddtdtcreator>, 
to be held in Manchester on Friday 6 September 2024.

The conference marks the culmination of our ESRC-funded project: Dating 
App Connections: Intimacies before, during and after COVID-19 
<https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/dating-app-connections/>.

The project explores LGBT+ and heterosexual people’s use of dating apps 
to negotiateintimaterelationships during and after the COVID-19 
lockdowns and social distancing. We will present our research, findings 
and analysis aroundintimacy, resilience and health in relation to dating 
app use. Professor Sharif Mowlabocus (Fordham University, NYU, and a 
valued member of our advisory board) will be giving the keynote address.

We are keen that the conference provides a space for dialogue around how 
we use dating apps to manage love, sex and friendship online. We are 
very grateful for the support of our advisory board for sharing their 
insight and expertise throughout our project and we are delighted that 
many of them will be joining us at the conference, including Prof Sharif 
Mowlabocus and Prof Susanna Paasonen. We encourage attendees from 
academia, community and voluntary organisations, policymakers and 
practitioners. Our aim is to engage with your different perspectives 
onintimacy, health and resilience and we plan to use the conference as 
the springboard to co-produce - with interested attendees - a 
recommendations document on our key themes.

This event is free to attend and funded by the ESRC as part of the 
Dating App Connections project. We want to include as many perspectives 
as possible in our dialogue, and to support this we have a small number 
of travel bursaries for people who work in voluntary or community 
organisations or who could not otherwise attend the event. If this 
applies to you, please let us know.

You can register via Eventbrite 
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/intimacy-risk-and-resilience-in-online-dating-tickets-867362232787?aff=oddtdtcreator>now, 
and we will be sharing the event more widely in the next few weeks. We 
do hope you can join us in September, we would very much value your 
attendance.
