He received his MA and PhD from the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) at the University of London, and studied for his BA at King’s College, Cambridge. Lovell specializes in cultural and social history, particularly focusing on 19th and 20th century Russia, political culture, and the voting culture of the Russian Empire and the USSR. He has published extensively, including works such as 'Summerfolk: History of the Dacha, 1710-2000' and 'Russia in the Microphone Age: History of Soviet Radio, 1919-1970.'
