Maxim Samson

Maxim's Samson's research operates at the nexus between geography, religious studies and education. In particular, he is interested in the construction and contestation of religious identities across a range of spaces—from religious schools to city streets—and the implications of these dynamics for citizenship and belonging. Dr. Samson also acts as the Chair of the Geography of Religions and Belief Systems (GORABS) international specialty research group, linked to the American Association of Geographers (AAG). He is the author of Invisible Lines: Boundaries and Belts That Define the World (Profile Books 2023; House of Anansi Press 2024).
