Research
Nancy Alicia Martínez’ research focuses on the histories of recorded knowledge, including technologies like writing and books, and how they impact communication across languages and cultures. She also looks at how indigeneity, decoloniality, coloniality, and empire influence creative production and its reception. Her current research examines how writers and artists from Central America and Central Europe imbed multisensory knowledge into their inscription practices, creating opportunities to reconceive of our approaches to reading. While her own work centers on Maya and Central American indigenous communities, she’s excited to support doctoral projects focused on indigeneity in any part of the world.
