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.
