DESCRIPTION:"A Global Earth in the Classroom: Jesuit Education and Geograph
 ic Literacy at the Dawn of Globalization"\n\n \n\nBetween the sixteenth and
  the seventeenth centuries two processes of great importance for world hist
 ory came to an end. The first was the impulse given by the Iberian monarchi
 es to the exploration of the earth. In 1522\, the expedition started by Fer
 dinand Magellan had completed the first circumnavigation of the world\, but
  it was only from the second half of the century that a series of stable co
 lonies between Asia\, Africa\, and America gave birth to an actual global s
 ystem. The process was completed in 1565 when a stable maritime route from 
 East Asia to West America was established thanks to the Manila Galleon. In 
 an apparently different domain\, in 1599 the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum\, the m
 ost important rule of study in Catholic Europe\, was completed. Following t
 he Jesuit example\, other religious teaching orders developed their rules o
 f study. What was the connection between these two phenomena? Did the proce
 ss of exploration of the world—and the emergence in this process of new sci
 entific concepts—influence the way in which knowledge was produced and tran
 smitted? This talk aims at deepening the reflection whether the process of 
 the first globalization influenced the making of the epistemological founda
 tions underlying modern science through Jesuit pre-university schools.\n\nD
 avid Salomoni holds a PhD in history from the University of Avignon\, and a
  PhD in pedagogy and history of education from the University of Rome III. 
 In 2017 he started research on the educational institutions of religious te
 aching orders in early modern Italy and in 2019 he was awarded an Andrew Me
 llon Fellowship at the University of Oklahoma History of Science Collection
 s. At present\, he holds a post-doctoral position at the History of Science
  Department of the University of Lisbon in the framework of the ERC funded 
 project: RUTTER Making the Earth Global\, under the direction of Prof. Henr
 ique Leitão. The project studies early modern Iberian nautical rutters as t
 he oldest sources on the emergence of the idea of a global earth. Dr. Salom
 oni has published several articles and books. In 2017 he was awarded  the G
 alileo Galilei Prize for young scholars by the Rotary International.\n\n--\
