Rebecca Mendoza

Hello! I am a Chicana from Colorado and a PhD candidate in Religion at Harvard with a focus on Indigenous and Latinx Diasporic traditions in the U.S. and Mexico. I earned my B.A. at the University of Oregon where I studied Political Science and Spanish, and I graduated with a MDiv from Harvard Divinity School where I studied precolonial Mesoamerican cosmovision. I have been at Harvard since 2020 and I look forward to supporting you in your first year! Ask me about my experience as a community organizer and podcaster in Denver, my cats, and the best coffee/study spots. My partner, Jorge Antonio, is a Puerto Rican scholar of Latin American literature who loves books and movies. Come speak Spanish with us!
