Edmundo Maza is the Student Caucus Leader for the Nonreligion in a Complex Future Project. He is a PhD student in Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa. He received his Bachelor’s degree (Honours) in Sociology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2018 and his Master’s Degree (Honours) in Sociology from the Iberoamerican University in 2020. Edmundo’s past work has engaged with the symbolism behind the figure of the Black Christ in the Mexican Religious landscape. Both of his dissertations analyzed the communities behind popular symbols of the Black Christ in two distinct regions of Mexico (Mexico City and Yucatan).
His current research revolves around the study of nonreligious afterlife in Canada and what that means in the face of an ever changing religious landscape. Some of his interests involve the relationship between the nonreligious community and multiculturalism, religious diversity and death.
