  In 1974 she gained a doctorate in the third cycle of the history of philosophy at the université Paris IV with a thesis entitled Émigration et sécession pour cause religieuse, étude de philosophie politique (Emigration and secession for religious reasons, a study of political philosophy). She then became a curator at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (1976-1986) before starting a teaching and research career in the faculté de théologie protestante de Paris (Institut protestant de théologie) (1986-2012).
