Teaching Experience

Dr. Gould's teaching background includes broad-based courses such as introductory anthropology courses as well as a wealth of courses that focus on biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, paleolithic societies, theories of hominid social evolution, ethnography, primate evolution, and primate behavior and ecology. She is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria, British Columbia.

Research Interests

Lisa Gould's research interests have revolved around Madagascar's primates, and especially the ringtail lemur, Lemur catta. She has spent many field seasons in Madagascar studying various aspects of lemur ecology including their demography, life history traits, anti-predator behavior, affiliative behavior in males, infant social development and alloparenting, and the affect of female dominance and reproductive seasonality on the social lives of adult ringtail lemurs. Dr. Gould's contribution to primate ecology and conservation was also highlighted in the documentary "Champions of the Wild" a 13 part series profiling Canadians who work with endangered species. The film, by Omin Film Productions, Vancouver, BC, was aired on the Discovery Channel.
