After discovering Marxism and anarchism while a student at the University of Lyon, Colson led the Lyon chapter of the Comité Vietnam national and witnessed the events of May 68.[2] He defended his doctoral thesis in 1983[3] and became a sociology professor at Jean Monnet University.[4][5] In March 2016, he notably signed an open letter alongside Pierre Alféri, Jérôme Baschet, Serge Quadruppani, and Éric Hazan calling for labor reform.[6][7]
