About

Dr. Hayley Woodward’s research explores Indigenous visual communication, place- and mapmaking, history-writing, materiality and artistic practice in Mesoamerica and sixteenth-century New Spain. Her scholarship has been supported by fellowships at the Getty Research Institute, Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and the Newberry Library, and she will hold the H. and T. King Fellowship in Ancient American Art and Culture from the American Council of Learned Societies during the 2026–2027 academic year. She is currently completing her first book, which examines the writing and revision of history through a remarkable painted manuscript from colonial Mexico.
