Jean Allison Stuntz (born April 8, 1957) is a professor at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, where she specializes in women's studies and the history of Texas, the Spanish Borderlands, and the American West. She has been teaching at WTAMU since 2001.
Stuntz is the middle of 3 children of Homer Clyde Stuntz (born 1923), a retired physician, and the former Billie Jean Williams (born 1929). She was born and reared in Orange in Orange County near Beaumont in southeast Texas.
In 1912, Stuntz's paternal great-grandfather, also named Homer Clyde Stuntz (1858–1924) of New York City, was named as a bishop of the Methodist Church. Homer Clyde Stuntz wrote at least two histories, stimulated by his missionary zeal, The Philippines and the Far East (1904) and South American Neighbors (1916).
Stuntz received her Bachelor of Arts degree (1979) from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and thereafter her Juris Doctorate from the Baylor Law School. She subsequently received Master of Arts (1996) and Ph.D. (2000) degrees from the University of North Texas at Denton. At North Texas, Stuntz said that she depended heavily on her major professor and mentor, Donald E. Chipman (born 1928), a specialist in the Spanish Borderlands.
