Lucy Fleming completed her DPhil in English at the University of Oxford, where her dissertation examined the adaptation of sexuality in versions of Chaucer and Shakespeare "for children.” Her teaching and research interests include children’s literature, adaptation studies, feminist theory, popular reception, and intergenerational literary genres, as well as the way that children’s literature negotiates relationships between adaptation, cultural capital, and censorship.
At UniBe, she works as the postdoctoral researcher on the SNSF project “COMMode Chaucer: Canonicity, Obscenity, and the Making of Modern Chaucer,” led by Prof. Dr. Mary Flannery.
