EXTRA RESPONSIBILITY.
puzzle by sudokusyndication.com
What do Drake and
actress Emily Blunt have in
common? They each gave
Ann Arbor a shoutout on their
recent Saturday Night Live
appearances.
Last week, Blunt starred in
an SNL skit titled “Short Film”
that poked fun at the the city’s
artsy culture.
In the skit, Blunt, who was
on the show promoting her new
film, “The Girl on the Train,”
plays the protagonist in a short
film introduced as part of a
Ann Arbor film festival, who is
seen running through a forest
and then, upon falling, having a
moment of self-realization.
After the screening of the
film, the skit then continues
with all of the cast members
participating in a Q&A session.
Actress Vanessa Bayer plays the
sole audience member asking
questions.
Ann Arbor’s artsy reputation
and its cultural attractions
are well known, bolstered in
particular by the Art Fair each
summer and the actual film
festival, held in March.
SNL’s recent sketch is not
Ann Arbor’s first mention by
SNL in the past year — this past
May, Drake guest starred in a
sketch about workplace banter
at an office supply store. In
it, Drake proudly displays his
University of Michigan coffee
mug.
When asked if he was a
Michigan fan, Drake told his
coworkers, played by Beck
Bennett and Bobby Moynihan,
that he was born and raised in
Ann Arbor and was an alumnus
of the University.
Though Ann Arbor is more
than 600 miles away from the
Big Apple, it appears like the
quaint college town remains on
the writers’ minds.

HANG TIME
For University of Michigan
professor
Mary
Kelley,
a
pioneer in the field of women’s
studies over the past 40 years,
teaching this year has felt
especially meaningful in an
election year with the first
major party female nominee.
Kelley said her interests in
higher education and public
life were first sparked by the
fact that she did not encounter
many females when she was in
high school.
“It was the absence that
provoked my curiosity,” she
said. “I think it was looking
for women like myself; that
is to say, women who had
intellectual aspirations, and
wanted
to
practice
those
aspirations in public life.”
She later became interested
specifically
in
women’s
studies during her time as
an undergraduate at Mount
Holyoke
University,
the
oldest women’s college in the
country, after speaking with
individuals in the field. Right
after she graduated college, in
1965, she took her own first
steps into the topic, publishing
her first book on 19th-century
American female writers that
yearned to prove themselves
as being capable of more than
domestic housewives. During
her career, she’s combined
expertise in history, American
culture and women’s studies to
help women’s studies flourish
as a legitimate discipline. As a
History prof. at Dartmouth —
which had only become co-ed
a few years prior to Kelley’s
arrival
in
1977
—
Kelley
was part of an initiative to
establish a women’s studies
program and the college’s
women’s center, dedicated to
providing a range of resources
for women.
Since 2002, Kelley has been
at the University of Michigan.
She said she find the school
substantially
more
diverse
and accommodating of the
need for women’s studies.
Women
studies
at
the
University
Today, much of what Kelley
discusses in her current class
draws on examples from the
University. For example, for
many
years,
women
were
not allowed in the Michigan
Union on campus, forcing
them to create their own
spaces to congregate, like
the Michigan League and
women’s only dorms such
as Helen Newberry, Betsy
Barbour and Martha Cook.
Kelley said she likes that
women on campus established
their own spaces, regardless
of existing restrictions.
“Having gone to a women’s
college, I think all female
spaces for certain parts of our
lives, certain segments of our
lives are important,” Kelley
said.
She noted that because
women’s studies can be an
abstract
field,
it
requires
research into qualitative, not
quantitative sources. For her
2006 book, “Learning to Stand
and Speak”, she used archives
and tangible materials to make
inferences about the evolution
of American women’s reading
and writing practices. Her
students use similar tactics to
conduct their own research.
Kate
Silbert,
a
Ph.D.
candidate
in
history
and
women’s
studies
and
one
of
Kelley’s
students,
said
Kelley’s redefinition of the
field
of
higher
education
for women influenced her
own project — exploring the
history of female intellectual
activity
through
messages
from journals, paintings and
Mary Kelley, a pioneer in women’s
studies, aims to find nuance in field
University professor helped solidify the research area
