Dr. Rodriguez explores the concept of mestizaje (hybridization) to creatively re-envision Latin American liberation theology in terms that embrace the entire theological enterprise - be it public or confessional, Roman Catholic or Protestant, feminist or broadly humanist.

Dr. Rodriguez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theological Studies at Saint Louis University, and serves on the advisory boards for the Latin American Studies and the Latino Studies Certificate Programs. He also serves as the director of the Mev Puleo Scholarship in Latin American Theology and Culture.
