Katie Bailey

Katie Bailey is a Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Vermont. As a biological anthropologist and primatologist, she researches locomotion in the critically endangered red-shanked douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus) from Southeast Asia.

Her research integrates primatology, functional morphology, and conservation biology, examining how primates adapt to arboreal environments through specialized locomotion. She also has expertise in forensic palynology from previous work with US Customs and Border Protection.

Recent publications demonstrate her focus on douc langur locomotion mechanics, habitat use in Vietnam, and conservation status assessments. Her work employs field observation, morphological analysis, and population survey techniques to understand primate adaptation and conservation needs.

No specific awards are mentioned, but her research contributes to understanding of endangered species and their conservation. She supervises student research in biological anthropology and primatology methods.
