Stephanie Wood, now the associate director for development and dissemination, joined CSWS in August 2002 as the coordinator for both the Wired Humanities Project and the Feminist Humanities Project, two initiatives under the direction of Judith Musick. She has brought to these jobs many years' experience using technology in her research and teaching. She is the principal scholar on FHP's Gender in Early Mesoamerica online database and the portal website, the Virtual Mesoamerican Archive. With Judith and the WHP staff, she is developing the Mapas Project of digitized pictorial manuscripts in the Indo-Hispanic tradition, the more text-based Early Nahuatl Virtual Library Project, and the Online Nahuatl Dictionary. She has also directed a graduate student in the construction of Digital Cahuleu (Mayan Universe).

Besides these many research projects, Stephanie has also developed five Digital Teaching Units (DTUs), "Women in Mesoamerica," "La Malinche: From Whore/Traitor to Mother/Goddess," "The Virgin of Guadalupe: From Criolla to Guerrillera," "Adelita: The Soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution of 1910," and "Frida Kahlo: Mexican Artist, World Icon." With Amanda Powell, Romance Languages, she co-authored another DTU about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. She has adapted the Kahlo, Guadalupe, Malinche, and Soldaderas DTUs for use on the Road Scholars lecture circuit. Stephanie has also coordinated FHP's Gender in History course which showcases the DTU collection, demonstrating its utility in the college classroom. Stephanie has additionally been involved in building the Gender in History materials collections, including the Medieval Women Online project, having traveled with the team to London and Oxford in 2001.

Stephanie Wood holds a doctorate in Latin American history (UCLA, 1984) and has been affiliated with the Department of History at the University of Oregon since 1988. She has also taught courses in Romance Languages and Women's and Gender Studies. She has authored dozens of articles on Mesoamerican ethnohistory and is the co-editor of two anthologies, Indian Women of Early Mexico (1997) and De tlacuilos y escribanos (1998). One of her latest books, Transcending Conquest: Nahua Views of Spanish Colonial Mexico, was published in 2003 by the University of Oklahoma Press. More recently, she co-edited an anthology with James Lockhart (UCLA) and Lisa Sousa (Occidental), Sources and Methods for the Study of Postconquest Mesoamerican Ethnohistory, which WHP has published (2007) as an e-book http://whp.uoregon.edu/Lockhart/index.html.
