She has a PhD in Biological Anthropology from the University of Toronto. For nineteen months\, I lived and worked in Madagascar\, spending 12-hour days following groups of lemurs through the northwestern dry forests. Before that\, McGoogan completed her master’s degree in primatology at the University of Calgary\, spending six months in Belize while studying black howler monkeys. In pursuit of primates\, she kayaked rivers searching for howlers\, waded through seasonally flooded forests to measure trees\, and contended with a disturbingly large mosquito population. McGoogan’s writing has also appeared in the Nashwaak Review\, The Toronto Star\, Outpost Magazine\, Verge Magazine\, and Wanderlust Magazine.  In 2021\, Keriann was selected as a Writers’ Trust Rising Star. Her new book\, Jungle Women: Scientists Who Shaped the Study of Our Primate Relatives\, will be released in Fall 2025. Today\, McGoogan works as a research manager at the University of Guelph and spends her spare time volunteering as a board member for Planet Madagascar\, a non-profit that aims to conserve Madagascar’s unique biodiversity while also helping the Malagasy people.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Chasing Lemurs \n\n\n\nAt twenty-five years old\, McGoogan travelled into the wilds of Madagascar to study lemurs in their natural habitat and set up a permanent field site in the remote northwest—a site to which she could later return to do research for her PhD in biological anthropology. Despite careful planning\, the trip spiralled out of control. Food poisoning\, harrowing backcountry roads\, gruelling hikes\, challenging local politics\, malaria\, and an emergency evacuation would turn a simple reconnaissance into an epic adventure. In Chasing Lemurs\, McGoogan describes the challenges of field science in an isolated forest region while bringing to life Madagascar’s unique biodiversity\, especially its many varieties of lemurs. This memoir is a journey of self-discovery\, an adventure story\, and a heartfelt appreciation of an island country teeming with unique species and peopled by a warm and welcoming culture.

Wright’s pioneering work led to the discovery of the golden bamboo lemur and the creation of Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar—a refuge for endangered lemurs and a global model for community-based conservation. On Sunday 26th\, hear her extraordinary story of discovery\, determination\, and hope as she shares insights from her acclaimed autobiography\, For the Love of Lemurs: My Life in the Wilds of Madagascar.The evening promises a perfect blend of connection and discovery: a welcoming cocktail hour\, an illuminating presentation by Dr. Wright\, a delicious dinner with dessert\, and a personal opportunity to have your book signed. It’s an experience designed to nourish both mind and spirit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe BookIn For the Love of Lemurs: My Life in the Wilds of Madagascar\, Dr. Wright takes readers deep into rainforests where science\, grit\, and wonder collide. From tracking the elusive greater bamboo lemur to discovering the golden bamboo lemur\, Wright’s quest ultimately helps spark the creation of Ranomafana National Park—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a stronghold for endangered lemurs. Part adventure memoir\, part conservation blueprint\, it’s a page-turner about how one person’s persistence can change a species’ fate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Patricia WrightDr. Wright is a scientist and a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Stony Brook University\, NY. She is the inaugural holder of Herrnstein Professor of Conservation Biology Chair. Dr. Wright has received the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship (Genius Award) and four medals of honor from the Malagasy government. She was the first woman to win the Indianapolis Prize for Animal Conservation. Dr. Wright is Founder and Executive Director of Stony Brook University’s Institute for the Conservation of Tropical Environments\, and is the Founder and Executive Director of the Centre ValBio\, a research and training center in Ranomafana\, Madagascar.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAfter discovering a new species of lemur in 1986\, she helped establish its habitat as a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dr. Patricia C. Wright has published over 200 scientific papers\, authored four books\, and delivered hundreds of lectures at museums\, universities\, and scientific societies across the United States and Europe. A dedicated mentor\, she has guided and hooded over 50 PhDs\, many of whom are now leaders in conservation and primatology In 2023\, she led a team of young scientists on a bold 30-day expedition to a remote forest previously unknown to the global scientific community. Accompanied by a French film crew\, the team ventured into uncharted territory\, documenting rare and previously undescribed plants and animals.
