We are supporting Maya-led teams in Yucatán and Guatemala to launch digital resources for long-term language revindication in their communities.

This project aims to address growing concerns about school safety, youth violence, and mental health in Mexico by adapting and implementing the evidence-based Coping Power Program.

My project focuses on analyzing indigenous subjecthood in the Spanish Empire through examination of the Tehuantepec rebellion of 1660-1661.

This project develops new visions for futurities directly informed from Nahua multidimensionality concepts of time traveling and re-envisioning futuristic indigenous migrant resiliency.

Research looking at late nineteenth century uses of informal, marriage-like relationships to navigate changing economic contexts and divorce and inheritance laws in Mexico and Guatemala

My study will consider the scalar relationship between embodiment, indigenous craftsmanship, and the commodification of land, asking how we, as designers, can apply the idea of scaling to use the details of a place as a method to understand the whole.

I will research ideophones and interjections used in speech practices in Zapotec wedding rituals.

With this funding, we will produce two Mayan-language editions of the Popol Wuj for our new digital variorum.

I plan to visit the National Public Health archive and the Hemeroteca Nacional de Mexico in Mexico City in order to review the registry of “public women,” a term which was used to refer to prostitutes.
