Reid Gómez

Reid Gómez, a Diné (Navajo Nation) scholar from San Francisco, California, is an Assistant Professor in Gender & Women's Studies at the University of Arizona.

• Education: PhD (field unspecified)

Her research engages Indigenous epistemologies, Critical Black Studies, and feminist theory to explore how colonial grammar structures shape knowledge production. She theorizes language and land as archives through multilingual 'translating consciousness' and draws connections to quantum physics. Gómez also actively creates literary works, including the completed novel HOME and sentence story collection ERSHOD, which reflect her interest in Black English and Navlish (Navajo-inflected English). She has published in journals and anthologies such as Wicazo Sa Review, Reading Native American Women, and First American Art Magazine.
