University of Sussex

Sue Collard has been at the University of Sussex since 1986, initially in Modern Languages (French) in the School of European Studies, moving latterly to the department of Politics and Contemporary European Studies in the School of Law, Politics and Sociology. Her research interests have mainly revolved around various aspects of politics in contemporary France, but more recently I have initiated a project to assess participation by non-national EU citizens in local elections as an empirical measure of the development of European citizenship, starting with France & the UK but with the long term aim of a full EU wide survey.
