Diana Rodríguez Vértiz studied a PhD in Latin American Studies at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and a master’s degree in Hispanic studies at the University of Washington. From 2012 to 2021, she worked as a research assistant with Dr. Margarita León Vega at the Philology Institute at UNAM, where she collaborated on two projects about mystical experiences in Mexican poetry. In the same years, Dr. Rodríguez Vértiz taught the course “Literature and Criticism of Literary Production in Latin America” under the direction of Dr. León Vega in the Latin American Studies Graduate Program at UNAM.
Dr. Rodríguez Vértiz’s research is focused on the poetics of the Peruvian doctor and writer Luis Hernández Camarero. Her most recent piece of scholarship explores the relationship between poetry, science, and ethics in Hernández Camarero’s artistic project. Currently, she is studying Hernández Camarero’s poetics of healing and his conception of poetry and medicine as divine ways to cure.
