State University, Eric is in the Anthropology of Religion Ph.D.
track of Religious Studies. His work investigates unofficial
folk saints in Latin America with a special focus on
Mexican-Catholic folkloric icons that are not recognized by the
Vatican, especially La Santa Muerte. This research examines
the historical trajectory of how the cult of the saints was brought
to the Americas via Spanish conquest, why such folk devotions became
pervasive in Latin America, and finally the manner in which these
religious practices constitute societies based on a shared sense of
meaning unique to the Latin American context.
