Otherworldly spaces like hell, purgatory, and limbo became part of a \u201ccolonizing imaginary,\u201d a worldview that included the cartographic project of mapping and claiming places and peoples far beyond Iberian shores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet such projects have traditionally and historically been interpreted as the purview of men\u2014missionaries, colonizers, and conquistadors who traveled across the Atlantic to participate in the entangled projects of conversion, colonization, and conquest.&nbsp;<strong>Hayley Bowman<\/strong>&nbsp;explores the ways in which women, too, contributed to this system of knowledge production. Female mystics envisioned and visited such places by spiritual means, wielding their own authority and contributing to how early modern Spaniards understood not just the afterlife, but their own position in the wider world and cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalscholarship.umich.edu\/lsa-history\/showcase\/reverb-effect-season-2-episode-3-transcript\/\" data-type=\"showcase\" data-id=\"927\">View the full episode transcript and sources<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalscholarship.umich.edu\/lsa-history\/showcase\/reverb-effect-season-2-episode-3-full-interview-with-professor-nancy-e-van-deusen\/\" data-type=\"showcase\" data-id=\"929\">View the full interview with Professor Nancy E. van Deusen<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"historian-biographies\">Historian Biographies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hayley Bowman<\/strong>&nbsp;is a PhD candidate in the History Department at the University of Michigan.
