Stephanie Wood, Ph.D.

Director and Senior Research Associate

In addition to coordinating most of the daily activities of WHP, Stephanie, a historian, is the lead scholar on all of WHP’s Mesoamerica projects. Stephanie collaborated with John Sullivan and the native-speaker team in Zacatecas on the three-year NEH-NSF funded project to build an online Nahuatl Dictionary, which she and her employees have continued to expand. She has also directed several NEH-funded Summer Institutes for US schoolteachers: one in Eugene (2008), four held in Oaxaca (2010, 2011, 2014, and 2015), and one along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, with a focus on tribal nations in Montana and North Dakota (2019).
