Professor Sandra Mendiola was born and raised in Puebla, Mexico where she received her B.A. from the Universidad de las Américas. After a year teaching Spanish in upstate New York, she went to Canada where she earned her M.A. from the University of Toronto. She completed her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 2008.
Sandra will teach upper-division courses on colonial and modern Latin American history and world history surveys. She looks forward to teaching courses on gender and labor in Latin American history. Her dissertation was a study of street vendors and marketers in Puebla, one of Mexico’s largest cities. She explored their business and political activities, focusing chiefly on the activities of female vendors.
Outside the classroom, Sandra's husband Chad drags her to punk rock shows. In Mexico, they both enjoy visiting the port of Veracruz and watching masked Mexican wrestlers in action in her native Puebla. Her favorite wrestler is Místico.
