He teaches courses in the Honors and History programs, including Western Civilization, Great Books, and specialized seminars on the Medieval and Renaissance worlds.
Research Interests: Llizo’s scholarship bridges theology, philosophy, and history, emphasizing the interplay between classical thought and Christian doctrine. His research explores themes like the Beatific Vision in Aquinas, the intersection of faith and poetry in Dante’s Purgatorio, and the adaptation of Greek philosophy within early Christian frameworks.

Publications and Presentations: Recent engagements include a 2024 lecture on Dante’s Purgatorio at the International Theological Institute, a 2021 presentation at Cornell’s Summer Colloquium in Medieval Philosophy, and 2019 contributions to the Perichoresis journal and Compton College lecture series on the Song of El Cid. His authored and translated book chapters, including works on Robert de Sorbon’s De Matrimonium and the Companion to Priesthood and Holy Orders in the Middle Ages, reflect his expertise in medieval religious structures and intellectual traditions.
