He earned a B.A. in Literature from the Instituto de Profesores Artigas and an M.A. in Latin American Literature from the Universidad de la República of Uruguay. His areas of research include nineteenth- and twentieth-century Southern Cone and Brazilian literature and culture, in topics such as popular culture, media, labor, ethnicity and sound.

Rodrigo has published articles and book chapters about the work of Rodolfo Walsh, Mário de Andrade, Ildefonso Pereda Valdés and about 20th-century Afro-Uruguayan intellectuals.
