Keely’s doctoral research is focused on the creation of healthy communities and the relational dynamics of place. Alongside the physical environment and urban design, Keely’s research interests include health practices; health equity; political will; and social norms related to gender. Keely regularly seeks out additional educational opportunities to supplement her coursework, including participating in summer institutes (e.g., Departures, Arrivals and Encounters: Feminist Approaches to Migration and Mobility Justice at Concordia University’s Simone de Beauviour Institute) and professional training (e.g., Fundamentals of University Teaching Program and Certificate in University Teaching from the University of Waterloo’s Centre for Teaching Excellence). Keely has received the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and Queen Elizabeth II Scholarship in Science & Technology during her time at the University of Waterloo.
