Pascale Blua
Pascale Blua, a French-Lebanese national, has been a doctoral student in theology at Domuni University since September 2021. Her thesis explores the thought of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and his approach to a universal Christ present in the world today, seeking new perspectives for interreligious dialogue.
Holder of a Master’s degree in Religious Sciences from Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (2019), a Master’s degree in Public Law, and diplomas in Sciences and Theology of Religions from the Institute of Sciences and Theology of Religions in Marseille (2017 and 2020), Pascale Blua has been actively participating since 2019 in the Islamology Laboratory attached to the Catholic University of Lyon and integrated into the Center for the Study of Cultures and Religions (CECR). Her work explores the bridges between science and faith from a perspective of openness to the universal.
Co-founder in 2023 of the Pleroma research platform on matter-spirit dialogue, she is a member of the French Association of Friends of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and the international network Teilhard World.
Pascale Blua spoke at the colloquium “”Thinking Fraternity Today with Teilhard”” in March 2024 at the Loyola Faculties in Paris, addressing in particular Teilhardian perspectives for the dialogue of cultures and religions.
