Eduardo DÃaz holds a PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures from UCLA. His focus
is in 20th century and contemporary Mexican literature and cultural productions as
well as Latin American literatures and cultures.
Eduardo's areas of research lie in the connection between generational trauma, memory
creaton, collective memory, and community and identity in literary and cultural productions.
He is especially interested in rural narratives, storytelling, oral stories of Western
Mexico, Mexico and Latin American and the Americas at large. Concretely, Eduardo researches
the impacts of the Cristero War (1926-1929), a religious war, in the creation of regional
self-identification of Western Mexico.
Eduardo is passionate about creative expression and research and hopes to combine
both at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.
