Dr. Sarah Hurley Kelly

Dr. Sarah Kelly is a cultural geographer who specializes in interdisciplinary research on water and energy. Her work is based in Northern New England (ancestral homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki Peoples) and southern Chile (ancestral Mapuche-Williche territory). Sarah is trained as a community-based participatory researcher. Her current work seeks to expand the methodological potential of high tech (online open source mapping) and low tech (row boats and paper maps) research tools to support more just water and energy futures.

Sarah believes that deep mapping of territories can create beautiful products that support cultural heritage, legal defense, and local understanding of complex issues.

She’s a postdoctoral researcher at Dartmouth College in the Department of Geography as supported by Chilean national research grant by ANID with CIGIDEN.

Her book, “Los Rios Aun Respiran”, is under consideration for publication in Chile and she is working on a manuscript in English called “Dreaming Rivers, Mapping Waters”.
