Abstract

Lynne Pearce is Professor of Literary and Cultural Theory in the Department of English Literature and Creative Writing at Lancaster University, UK. She is also Co-Director (Humanities) of the University’s Centre for Mobilities Research (CeMoRe) and has been involved in the Centre as an Associate Director since 2015. With Peter Merriman (Aberystwyth University, UK), she has played a leading role in developing the field of Mobility Humanities following a landmark colloquium hosted by CeMoRe in 2014 (see special issue of Mobilities12.4). While her early publications were in the field of feminist theory and reader theory (e.g., Woman/Image/Text (1991); Reading Dialogics(1994); Feminism and the Politics of Reading (1997); Romance Writing (2007)), since 2010 her research has focused on mobilities (see Drivetime (2016) and Mobility, Memory and the Lifecourse (2019)). She is also co-editor of the book series Palgrave Studies in Mobilities, Literature and Culture.
