The comparative study of religions is my home discipline, from which I regularly venture into the surrounding landscape of the humanities and social sciences (and, sometimes, even beyond). I research and teach on topics at the intersection of religions and spiritualities with the history of women, gender, embodiment, ritual, media and material culture, in historical and contemporary contexts, and often with a comparative dimension. My interdisciplinary work has focused on traditional and emerging ritualizations of pregnancy, and childbirth, as well as on the spiritual dimensions of fertility awareness and its digitalization. My most recent works focus on motherhood and mothering in religious contexts. My areas of specialization also include religious traditions of South Asia, and especially Hinduism, and particularly, the devotional poetry of Northern India (bhakti). Theory and methodology -in particular, the question of comparison in religious studies- are also part of my explorations in this discipline, in dialogue with others.

I am presently a professor ("professeure agrégée", confirmed in June 2025) in the study of religions at the Faculty of theology and religious studies at the Université Laval in Québec City.
