Margaret Kelley

Where you know me from…

I am a sociologist and Professor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Kansas. I teach AMS176 On Drugs: Heroin Users and American Drug Policy, AMS324 Being Deviant in America, and AMS321 American Gun Culture.  

When I was a freshman…

I was the first in my family to go to college, but my dad started college shortly after me. He got an MBA, and then my mom went for her nursing degree, too! I played volleyball at Wichita State University and lived in the dorms for two years. I was super busy and had lots of amazing memories. I am still in Facebook contact with many of my dorm friends.
