Sarah Molinari

Student Fellow

Sarah Molinari is a doctoral candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the Graduate Center. Her work addresses post-hurricane recovery justice in Puerto Rico and how grassroots efforts attempt to reconfigure what debt and disaster recovery mean and for whom. Funded by the National Science Foundation, her ethnographic dissertation project examined the movement for a citizen debt audit and post-Maria politics of mutual support organizing. Sarah’s most recent publication, “Authenticating Loss and Contesting Recovery” appears in the edited volume Aftershocks of Disaster (Haymarket Books, 2019). She is also interested in engaged digital/public humanities work and is the co-founder of the Puerto Rico Syllabus (#PRSyllabus).
