Professor Tania Islas Weinstein earned a BA in Political Science from the Centro de Investigaci贸n y Docencia Econ贸micas (CIDE) in Mexico City and a PhD from the University of Chicago.

Her research is dedicated to analyzing how art and aesthetics shape the way people experience the world as politically significant. She is currently working on a book project tentatively titled Between Evidence and Imagination: Art, Cultural Institutions, and Political Representation in Mexico, which analyzes the politics of the country鈥檚 cultural policies, institutions, and artistic practices in the wake of the country鈥檚 transition away from autocratic rule and in the shadow of its ongoing 鈥渨ar on drug-trafficking.鈥� Drawing on over ten years of fieldwork, the book argues that art is a privileged site to study politics and can help shed light on how processes like democratic transitions and violent conflicts shape national imaginaries, forms of civic participation, and political speech.

Islas Weinstein regularly teaches courses on the politics of art, on qualitative and interpretive research methods, and on racism and anti-racism in Latin America. She recently co-edited a book on this last topic titled Beyond Mestizaje: Contemporary Debates on Race in Mexico (Amherst College Press, 2024) which brings together recent scholarship on the relationship between race, class, and capitalism in Mexico. Her work has also been published or is forthcoming in journals including Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Journal of Latin American Studies, and International Politics. Islas Weinstein also frequently collaborates with artists on projects and publications, including on the Spanish translation of the work of the poet and musician Sun Ra.
