Richard A. Grijalva is a rhetorician and scholar of Mexican and Mexican American Studies based in Austin, TX. From 2022-2024 he was an ACLS Emerging Voices Postdoctoral Fellow with the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. His dissertation, Political Spirituality and the Idea of México: From the Bourbon Reforms in New Spain to Mexican Independence (1740-1821), maps the history of Mexico as a concept and name through discourses and practices of spirituality and subject-formation. While continuing research on spirituality and Mexican independence, he is preparing a manuscript on key interventions of the Novohispanic/Mexican orator, historian, political thinker, and legislator Fray Servando Teresa de Mier. His research has been made possible by grants from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), UC MEXUS, the University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States, the Department of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley, and UC Berkeley's Graduate Division.
