Early modern studies of knowledge production have traditionally focused on academic teaching. Although the cosmopolitan nature of universities is well established, the impact of different cultures, minor figures, and peripheral centers and milieus on knowledge production has been less explored.
The aim of this workshop is to look at the production and transmission of academic knowledge from a broader perspective. This perspective would include intellectual phenomena and individuals that orbit the university system, but are rarely directly connected to knowledge production in the various disciplinary fields.
