Lucy Spoliar holds an BA (1st) in Theology and Religious Studies from Durham University and a Research MA (cum laude) in Religion and Culture from University of Groningen. Since 2021, Lucy works as a PhD candidate at Radboud University, at the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, researching (self-)representations of Muslim and Jewish women in contemporary British comedy (see "projects" below). Her broader research interests include the study of religion, gender, sexuality and race (and their discursive entanglements), in connection with comedy studies and the politics of representation in popular culture more broadly.
