Kelley Hays-Gilpin serves as a Professor of Anthropology at Northern Arizona University, where she conducts interdisciplinary research bridging archaeology, anthropology, and visual studies. Her work centers on Indigenous cultures of the American Southwest, with a particular focus on Hopi communities and their material and visual expressions.
Her primary research areas include:
- Visual Anthropology and Ethnography
- Gender Archaeology and Non-male Agency
- Rock Art Interpretation
- Museum Representation and Cultural Identity
- Material Culture and Crafting Traditions
- Southwestern U.S. Indigenous Cultures
Professor Hays-Gilpin's scholarship critically examines how gender, identity, and cultural narratives are constructed and represented in both ancient and contemporary contexts, contributing to broader discussions on decolonizing archaeological practice and enhancing museum inclusivity. Her publication trends reveal sustained engagement with Hopi cultural identity, gender dynamics in visual arts, and the political dimensions of museum representation across three decades.
