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.
