In 2021, she became Dean of the Faculty of Music and Professor of Music at the University of Toronto. Her research and teaching have addressed issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and the social and political dimensions of music, with a focus on public engagement and university access for high school students. Hisama is Founding Director of For the Daughters of Harlem: Working in Sound, a multi-year initiative with seed funding from the Collaborative to Advance Equity Through Research, which brings students from local public schools to Columbia to create, record, and reflect upon their work in sound. At Toronto, she is Founding Director of Future Sound 6ix, a program for racialized female-identifying and gender non-conforming youth to work at the U of T's Electronic Music Studio, with support from the Nick Nurse Foundation. In her first year as Dean, she helped to secure a $7-million gift to the Faculty of Music in support of a new named recital hall, the Jay Telfer Forum. This gift was the largest ever received by the Faculty of Music, and one of the most significant in support of music in Canada.

Kelley at Flowin’: Breakthroughs in Black Feminist Jazz & Literary Studies, Yale University, and gave talks in the Poetker Thinking About Music Lecture Series, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and the Friday Forum, School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design, York University.

She served on the Governing Board of the Society of Fellows/Heyman Center for the Humanities and as a member of the Columbia Working Group of AFRE (Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity), an organization whose mission is "to build an enduring transnational network of leaders...to challenge anti-Black racism and build the institutions, policies and narratives for a more equitable future." She chaired the Humanities Equity Committee of the Policy and Planning Committee and was the primary author of the Humanities section of its Equity report. In recognition of the legacy of Professor Marcellus Blount, a staunch advocate for equity at Columbia, she directed Agents of Change: A Symposium in Honor of Marcellus Blount, which featured a solo performance by Lloyd Knight, Principal Dancer of the Martha Graham Dance Company. She is a member of Columbia's Public Humanities Workshop, a forum founded in 2021 for imagining new ways for researchers, practitioners, and community partners to address urgent social problems together. With Zosha Di Castri, she co-directed the symposium Unsung Stories: Women at Columbia’s Computer Music Center and co-produced its podcast series.
