Her research focuses on the related processes of self-representation and Othering. Current research interests include:
1. Processes of self-extension, including: (i) Social identity; (ii) Collaborative processes in social cognition; (iii) Place attachment; (iv) Temporal aspects of identity.
A good deal of Susan’s past research concentrated on the implication of notions of place and history in English national and European identities. Her current research focuses on people’s relation to built and natural environments, including garden design, and social and therapeutic horticulture.
2. Prejudice and discrimination, including:
(i) Collaborative processes in the formation of, and resistance to, discriminatory views. (ii) The use of historical narratives and images of place to construct and to communicate views about ‘outsiders’.
Current research in this area focuses on environmental discrimination, and on the ways in which constructs of ecology, environmentalism, conservation and biodiversity may be drawn upon in the course of arguments about social justice.

There are two problems with the existing account of the relationship between newspapers and national identity in the UK. The first is that although it is widely assumed that the mass media are central to the reproduction and evolution of national identity this has never been empirically demonstrated. The second is that exactly what comprises the relevant ‘national’ context in the UK is unclear. Content analysis of 2,500 sampled articles, together with qualitative comparison of different editions of the same newspaper titles and interviews with editors and journalists are used to show the extent and nature of ‘national’ frames of reference in newspapers in England and Scotland. Paradoxically, devolution may have reduced the spatial diversity of news stories in the press in England and Scotland.

ABSTRACT Research in the late 1970s attempted to assess the effects of adults&#39; sex-role stereotypes upon their interactions with infants. In ‘stranger-baby’ experiments infants play with an adult for a brief period, having been introduced either as male or female. Some studies found clear effects of gender labelling (Frisch, 1977; Smith and Lloyd, 1978). Others found no such influence or uncovered differences correlated with either the infant&#39;s biological sex or the adult&#39;s attitudes towards sex-role differentiation (Bell and Carver, 1980). This experiment attempted to reeoncile these findings by re-examining the supposed influence of the adult&#39;s sex-role beliefs on adult-infant interaction. Twelve 1-year-olds played with two male and two female adults, each child being labelled as male or female when introduced to an adult member of each sex. The results show a few significant effects of gender label and sex of adult, but more clear influences of the sex of the baby. In addition the adults completed the Bem Sex Role Inventory immediately after the play session. Their self-attributions similarly were influenced by the biological sex of the infant with whom they had been playing. Thus the results suggest that adults&#39; sex stereotyping of infant behaviour may well be subtly influenced by the child&#39;s own contribution to the interaction. Indeed, in the short term such interactions influence adults&#39; self-perceptions.

The term public opinion first gained popularity the 18th Century European enlightenment. Today, because of its centrality to the rationale of advanced liberal democracies, public opinion constitutes a nexus between the worlds of formal and everyday politics. This chapter outlines a tension between two competing assumptions about the relationship between public opinion and rational democratic governance. On the one hand, public opinion is treated as the ultimate source of political authority. On the other hand, the everyday opinion of mass publics is understood to be too heavily motivated by personal self-interest, and too deficient in factual understanding to ever serve as a legitimate basis for the governance of complex modern societies. In the second part of the chapter I present a case study from my own research on vernacular political reasoning, which draws upon early social psychological recommendations concerning the conceptualization and empirical study of public opinion. Thi...

It has become common in social scientific and elite political discourse to treat ‘European identity’ as if it were fundamental to, or even synonymous with, support for the European Union. In this paper I consider the potential distinction between claims to European identity and support for the EU as a political institution. In the first half of the paper, I report research with shows low levels of European identity among a representative sample of young adults in England. In the second half of the paper, I report findings from follow-up qualitative interviews, which show that claims to, or denials of, ‘European identity’ did not map onto the respondents’ acceptance of their status as EU citizens or to their general attitude towards EU membership and integration in any straightforward way. In the first place, claims to ‘European’ identity did not always pertain to the EU. Secondly, respondents who were in favour of EU membership often disclaimed a personal sense of European ‘identity...

Vernacular representations of nationhood collected in England differed from canonical accounts of social categorization in three respects. First, nations were not typically constructed as simple person categories, but rather as hybrid collectivities of human beings, objects and geographical locations. Second, national representation was not confined to the present tense, but was typically conveyed through temporal distinctions and narratives. Third, speakers displayed a reflexive concern over the rationality and morality of national categorization and stereotyping. Speakers could manage the tension between the need to recognize both national diversity and entitativity by forging a distinction between Englishness (identified with homogeneity, ethnic nationalism and the past) and Britishness (identified with pluralism, civic nationalism and historical progress). However, accounts had a dilemmatic quality. The strategies speakers used to promote images of contemporary national in-group diversity often implicitly presupposed a normal moral order of national cultural homogeneity. The association of pluralism with values of progressive social change meant that accounts of &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;our&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39; distinctive lack of national character could carry tacit implications of relative superiority. General implications for social identity approaches to social categorization are discussed.
