Présentation

I am associate professor (maîtresse de conférences) at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), affiliated to the Centre d'études sud-asiatiques et himalayennes - CESAH (formerly Centre d'Études de l'Inde et de l'Asie du Sud - CEIAS) in Paris. I received my PhD in South Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Chicago in March 2020, with a dissertation on the social, cultural and literary history of Tamil Catholicism in the 17th and 18th centuries. My broad interests include Tamil literature and poetics, translation, early modern devotion and devotional poetry, the history of South India from the late medieval to the modern period, Tamil Śaivism, Tamil Christianity, and the longue-durée history of connections and inter-cultural encounters between Europe and South Asia.
