Catherine is a PhD student at the UCL Institute of Education, London, where she is exploring concepts of mind, rhythm and rationality. In 2019 her collaboration with Professor Paul Standish, Displacing the one: dislocated thinking in HigherEducation was published by Routledge. It appears in the book Conversations on Embodiment across Higher Education. She also tutors English and drama and is an examiner for English Language.

When she’s not playing with words, Catherine spends her time performing and teaching drums, which she started learning alongside her PhD. She lives with her jazz-musician-partner, Andrew Christie, in Bristol and an ever-growing collection of percussion instruments.

We spoke about rhythm in philosophy, embodied time, linear & circular concepts of time, The Greek Gods, measurability, productivity & efficiency in education, dichotomies & misunderstandings, purpose & meaning, perfection, collaboration, Antonio Damasio, the trolley problem, creativity, education reform.
