Susan Romano is an Associate Professor at the University of New
Mexico, Albuquerque, where she teaches composition and rhetoric:
their histories, theories, and practices. Key words for her research
interests are cultural rhetorics, agency studies, institutional
histories, feminist historiography, indigenous rhetorics, and colonialist
Mexico. She is currently writing about the proliferation of diverse
teaching cultures in post-conquest Mexico, examining the linkages
between gender- and culture-specific resources and rhetorical agency.
Professor Romano’s publications include “The Egalitarian
Narrative : Whose Story, Which Yardstick?” (1993 Ellen Nold
Award); “On Becoming a Woman: Pedagogies of the Self” (1999); “Fanaticism,
Civil Society, and the Arts of Representation in Sixteenth-Century
Mexico (2003); “Tlaltelolco: The Grammatical-Rhetorical Indios
of Colonial Mexico” (Richard Ohmann Award); and “The
Historical Catalina Hernández: Inhabiting the Topoi of Feminist
Historiography” (2007). Her book project is titled Receiving
