Keriann McGoogan is an English-major turned primatologist turned writer. Through sheer dumb luck, she took Introduction to Physical Anthropology as an elective in her first year at the University of Calgary. A particularly good instructor inspired her to pursue an undergraduate degree in primatology. McGoogan completed her Master’s degree at the University of Calgary, spending six months in Belize while studying black howler monkeys. In that Central American country, she kayaked rivers searching for monkeys, waded through seasonally flooded forest to measure trees, and contended with a disturbingly large mosquito population. McGoogan went on to complete her PhD in Biological Anthropology at the University of Toronto. For nineteen months, she lived and worked in Madagascar, spending 12-hour days following groups of lemurs through the northwestern dry forests. Although she has left the world of academia, McGoogan spends her evenings and weekends volunteering as a board member for Planet Madagascar, a non-profit that aims to conserve Madagascar’s unique biodiversity while also helping the local Malagasy people. She lives in Ontario with her partner Travis Steffens.
