  • Assistant Professor of Spanish World Languages, Literatures & Cultures, Auburn University

Ezekiel Stear teaches Spanish and Colonial Latin American Literature at Auburn University and researches Indigenous texts from colonial Mesoamerica and the Andes. His book, Nahua Horizons: Writing, Persuasion, and Futurities in Colonial Mexico (University of Arizona Press, 2025) examines the key roles the Nahua texts from Central Mexico have played in shaping culture. His articles and book chapters similarly question the notion that the Spanish erased Native cultures in the Americas.
