Dr Catherine Scanlon

Associate lecturer - K102, Y033, Y034, YXM130

My original degree was in archaeology and anthropology, specialising in biological anthropology, from Girton College, Cambridge. My doctoral work was on the social development of infant (free-ranging) primates (on Cayo Santiago island, Puerto Rico), based at the Biology Dept, at the OU. This was followed by post-doctoral work studying marmoset monkeys in north-east Brazil. I have also done research on gender and disability, while based at Warwick University. I am a qualified teacher of English as a Foreign Language to Adults. I was involved in the intentional spiritual community, Findhorn Foundation, for many years; in particular the holistic health centre, and thinking about inclusive group work. I am a qualified shiatsu practitioner, and facilitator of the Transformation Game, and for 25+ years (1995-2022) had a wellbeing practice - Breathing Space, Tools for Wellbeing - offering bodywork and reflection to support wellbeing.
