Biographical Note
Dr. Gail Paradise Kelly (1940-1991) was a pioneer in the field of comparative women's education and a noted faculty member of UB's Graduate School of Education. Kelly acquired her undergraduate degree in 1962 from the University of Chicago, and went on to obtain her master's degree in education from Indiana University in 1970. In 1975, she was awarded her Ph.D. in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and in the same year she joined the faculty at the University at Buffalo. Starting as an Assistant Professor in the GSE, Kelly was promoted to Associate Professor in 1978, and eventually became a full professor in 1983, a position she held for the remainder of her career. Kelly also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of History. While at UB, Kelly played a major role in the development of a comparative education doctoral program, and held a notable amount of administrative and committee positions. As a scholar in comparative education, she conducted much research focusing on women's education, third-world education, and Vietnam. By the end of her career, Kelly wrote two books, five monographs, twenty-four book chapters, and twenty-three journal articles, and was the co-editor of eleven books.
