Callum Cooper

Callum Cooper serves as an Associate Professor in Psychology & Thanatology at the University of Northampton's Faculty of Health, Sport and Behavioural Sciences. His work bridges parapsychology and death studies, examining anomalous experiences, bereavement processes, and sexual behaviour through qualitative and ecological approaches. He teaches core courses including Parapsychology & Anomalous Experiences (PSY3007) and The Psychology of Wellbeing (PSY2007).

His research focuses on parapsychological phenomena (remote viewing, scopaesthesia, after-death communication) and thanatological contexts (funeral industry experiences, grief trajectories, death-related sensory phenomena). Cooper investigates how anomalous experiences intersect with spirituality, mental health, and therapeutic outcomes, often employing mixed-methods designs in real-world settings.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant research streams: cyberpsychology applications in parapsychology, sensory phenomenology of after-death communication, public perception of anomalous phenomena via social media, and therapeutic potentials of death-related experiences. His collaborative network includes international researchers like Caroline Roe and David Lorimer across journals such as Australian Journal of Parapsychology and Omega: Journal of Death and Dying.

No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials.

Cooper actively supervises research degrees and leads projects in parapsychology and thanatology. His scholarly contributions extend to historical analyses (e.g., "Forbidden Histories" interview) and obituaries for field pioneers like Lawrence LeShan, demonstrating commitment to preserving psychical research heritage while advancing contemporary empirical work.
