Andrea Reed-Leal is an interdisciplinary researcher, writer, and ceramicist. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Romance Languages and Literatures Department at the University of Chicago. She previously received her double BA in Political Science and International Relations from ITAM (Mexico City) and her MA in History from McGill University (Canada). She has also undertaken specialized courses on different subjects at the Rare Book School (EUA), University of Otago (New Zealand), Stanford University (EUA), and El Colegio de México (Mexico). Her research engages subjects such as the history of the book, libraries, female intellectuality, circulation of ideas, and diverse textual technologies, such as ceramics, textiles, codices, stone, and other-than-text objects. Working on the intersection between different times and geographies, she seeks to assess the repercussions of knowledge of the past and archive building on the contemporary imaginary. Her current scholarly project investigates Nahua epistemologies and the representation of women and goddesses in Sixteenth-Century documents from New Spain.
