Professor Cary L. Cooper CBE

Professor Cary L. Cooper is a Pro Vice Chancellor of Lancaster University and Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health. Cary's previous roles have included adviser to the UN and to the Defence Committee of the House of Commons.

Cary is the author of over 100 books (on occupational stress, women at work and industrial and organisational psychology), has written over 400 scholarly articles for academic journals, and is a frequent contributor to national newspapers, TV and radio.

In 2001, Cary was awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his contribution to organizational health.
