Kelley Hall

Kelley Hall teaches courses on Gender, Social Inequalities, and Research Methods. She also teaches Introduction to Women’s Studies and a first-year seminar called “Comic Books and American Society.” An examination of the intersections of gender, race, class, and sexuality are central to every class.

Kelley's scholarly interest in comics focuses on comics as a teaching tool, including the work of Alison Bechtel to teach sexual identity development, Roberta Gregory to demonstrate feminist theory and lesbian community, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis to teach cross-cultural experiences of girlhood, and the X-Men as a metaphor for social inequality.
