People

There are currently around eight academic staff members in the School of History either researching principally in the field of French history, or with closely related research interests.

Staff in the School of Art History and in the Department of French (School of Modern Languages) are also closely associated with the Centre and sit on its board of management. Professor David Parrott (New College, Oxford) and Professor Peter Jackson (Glasgow) sit on the board as external advisors.

The Centre and its staff are involved in a number of research projects and also enjoy links to other research centres in France, other European countries and North America.
