Graduate of the École normale supérieure in Paris; holds a doctorate in literature. She divides her time between Paris and Peru. Researcher at the Centre Jean Pépin (CNRS) and the Institut français d’études andines (IFEA) in Lima. Her research career began with the translation and study of Pierre Gassendi’s philosophy. Her work has led her to extend her research to the relationship between science, power, religion and philosophy in the 17th century, with a strong international dimension. Given her interest in the articulation of the religious, the political and the ideological, she is working on the question of secularization, on the one hand, and on a case study of Islam in France, Europe and Latin America, on the other. Aware of the globalized nature of religion, she is keen to identify the major trends in religion, and in particular a certain convergence, common to all religions and spiritualities, between millenarianism and conspiracy theories.
