Welcome to the website of Siobhan Speiran, M.A.! |

Welcome!
My name is Siobhan ("shove-on"), and I am a PhD candidate in Environmental Studies at Queen’s University. An animal geographer with a background in zoology, animal welfare, English literature and film; I joined Dr. Alice Hovorka’s The Lives of Animals Research Group in 2017. My current research explores the potential for sanctuaries to offer sustainable wildlife tourism, through a case study of the lives of monkeys in Costa Rican sanctuaries. I also collaborateswith research and advocacy groups Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law, and Ethics and Etiocscienza. I shares my research on Instagram @theanimalwelfarist, and established the Costa Rican Monkey Interest Group to connect researchers and professionals interested in primate rehabilitation and conservation. My research recognizes that, while animals are integral to wildlife tourism, most scholarship does not focus on their lives. I am generously supported by a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier Doctoral Scholarship. By: Siobhan I. Speiran
