Long(er) Version
A college instructor for over 15 years, Kelli currently teaches media and cinema studies courses at DePaul University. She researches the star image and fandom of Gene Kelly as well as Shakespeare in film, art, and popular culture.
Kelli is also interested in the integration of social (and new) media in and outside the classroom, teaching with Twitter and video essays in particular. Because of her experience in this field, Kelli serves as a columnist for Chronicle Vitae, where she writes about how to incorporate visual art and technology into the traditional university classroom.
In 2012, Kelli published Locating Shakespeare in the Twenty-First Century, which she co-edited with Gabrielle Malcolm. An excerpt of the book is available on the publisher's website.
Kelli's writings have appeared in the popular press, on scholarly websites, and in peer-reviewed journals. Her work has also been featured in pop-culture and humor encyclopedias, in single-issue magazines, on podcasts and radio programs, in newspapers, and at national and international conferences.
In her spare time, Kelli runs local races (as well as the occasional one in Louisiana), renovates her 1924 Chicago bungalow with this guy, and curates Gene Kelly Fans. She also founded and edits The Outtake—a publication devoted to smart, accessible, and sometimes very personal writing on all aspects of film and television, classical and contemporary.
Kelli received her B.A. and M.A. in English from the University of Louisiana-Monroe (minors in history and French). She earned the Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Humanities from the University of Texas-Dallas.
