Charles Derond is a Catholic moral theologian and ethicist who holds a PhD in Ethics from the University of Strasbourg (Faculty of Catholic Theology). His work operates at the crossroads of theologia moralis, social ethics, and interdisciplinary research, with a sustained focus on poverty, human dignity, and economic justice, especially within Caribbean and postcolonial settings. He is currently finalising an advanced doctoral manuscript that synthesises his peer-reviewed publications into a coherent theological ethics of poverty and social justice, integrating economics and public policy into a Catholic framework.
Dr. Derond's intellectual formation is markedly interdisciplinary: he earned a DEA in Economics from the University of the Antilles, a degree in Catholic Theology from DOMUNI/University of Lorraine, and a Certificate in Mathematics from UPMC Paris 6. Based in Martinique, he has worked as a certified mathematics teacher in the French national education system and as Head of the Business Relations Office, giving him direct experience of both educational practice and socio-economic realities. He is affiliated with the MEMIAD research unit at the University of the Antilles and the Ethics Axis of UR 4377 Theology at the University of Strasbourg, publishing actively in French, Spanish, and English.
