Biography
Dr. Ortiz holds a Ph.D. in Hispanic Language and Literature from Boston University. His research focuses on the 19th-century Mexican intelligentsia and their views on liberalism, romanticism, politics, economics, and ethnicity as they relate to the process of nation-building, as well as 20th-century Latin American literature and linguistics.
He enjoys teaching Spanish language, culture, and literature at all levels and encouraging students to participate in community outreach and experiential learning projects. He also actively supports and mentors students who choose to minor or double major in Spanish as a way to strengthen their academic and professional paths.

At the University of 蘑菇视频, his dedication to teaching and student success has been recognized through his nomination for the 2024 Outstanding Teacher Award as part of the University of 蘑菇视频 Awards and Recognition program.
