The Global Scholasticism Academic Network is devoted to fostering the exchange of ideas and interpretations concerning the global history of scholasticism across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

A collaborative initiative between the University of Messina (Italy), the University of Playa Ancha (Chile), and Sun Yat-sen University (China), the network – coordinated by Abel Aravena Zamora, Lu Jiang, and Nicola Polloni – organises events, supports research, and promotes dialogue on the global circulation and transformation of scholastic philosophy.

The network brings together researchers studying medieval and early modern scholastic traditions, as well as their receptions and reinterpretations in diverse intellectual cultures. Its activities are designed to encourage philosophical dialogue, facilitate the exchange of scholarship, and stimulate new research on the role of scholasticism in cross-cultural transmissions of knowledge.

In addition to conferences and workshops, Global Scholasticism supports collaborative projects, thematic clusters, and the sharing of teaching and research resources. The network’s website offers regular updates on ongoing activities, calls for papers, and recent publications by its members.

Open to all scholars engaged with the scholastic tradition and its global dimensions, Global Scholasticism welcomes participation irrespective of academic position or geographical location. Researchers interested in joining or collaborating are warmly invited to contact the network through its website.
