 Aldana is a professor of Chicana/o Studies at the University of California
 \, Santa Barbara.  His research takes a history of science and indigenous 
 studies approach to exploring Mayan hieroglyphic history\, with a focus on
  astronomy.  Throughout his research\, for example in The Apotheosis of Ja
 naab Pakal:  Science\, History and Religion at Classic Maya Palenque and C
 alculating Brilliance: an intellectual history of Mayan Astronomy at Chich
 ’en Itza\, he investigates cases of historically contingent invention an
 d discovery within indigenous Mayan scientific practice.  More recently\, 
 his research has led to further exploration of what he refers to as “ora
 cular science” within ancient Mesoamerican astronomical practice.  At th
 e core of this exploration is a 14th century indigenous Mayan hieroglyphic
  manuscript comprising primarily divination almanacs and astronomical tabl
 es.
