I am a professor (professeure agrégée) at the Faculty of theology and religious studies at the Université Laval in Quebec City. My research lies at the intersection of religions and spiritualities with women’s history, gender, embodiment, rituals, media, technologies, and material culture.

While religious studies form my core disciplinary foundation, I approach my research topics through interdisciplinary methodologies and perspectives. My work examines both traditional and emerging ritualizations surrounding fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, as well as the religious and spiritual dimensions of fertility management practices—particularly their modernization through digital technologies. In my recent studies, I investigate historical and contemporary expressions of motherhood through the lens of religious and spiritual traditions. My expertise also extends to the religious traditions of South Asia, especially Hinduism, with a focus on devotional movements.

Alongside this work, I critically examine theoretical frameworks in religious studies and develop innovative teaching methods to religious phenomena in their complexity, fostering critical thinking. At Université Laval, I teach courses on various South Asian religious traditions, as well as on the intersections between women, gender, and religions from both historical and contemporary perspectives, often employing comparative approaches.

Here is a link to a list of my publications, including peer-reviewed articles in journals such as NumenStudies in Religion/Sciences religieusesZeitschrift für Religionswissenschaft, and Open Theology.
