JoAnna M. Reyes’ scholarship centers on the visual and material culture of colonial Mexico and contemporary Chicana/o America. Her teaching and research interests include identity formation and expression, extraction economy and the built environment, and borderland iconography. Deeply interdisciplinary in her approach, Reyes seeks to reexamine notions of periphery and center and illuminate the multifaceted nature of Colonial institutions and histories. She has recently published an entry in "Archive of the World: Art and Imagination in Spanish America, 1500-1800" (Delmonico, 2022) and coauthored an article in "Feminist Formations" (John Hopkins University Press, 2022.) Reyes earned her doctorate in Dec. 2021 from UCLA, and was a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at ASU. She has previously worked at the Getty Research Institute, LACMA, and the Hispanic Society Museum and Library. From 2016-2019, she served as the book review editor for Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies.
