Both aspects\u2014the uniformity and the adaptability\u2014were explicitly supported by the <em>Ratio studiorum<\/em>, the Jesuits\u2019 foundational plan of studies issued in 1599, which, despite the schools\u2019 many variations and complexities, has retained some influence over time. With the Ratio discarded, Jesuit schools had to clarify what made them distinctively Jesuit, reconciling their mission with the contemporary world. This three-credit, graduate-level class sketches the developments of Jesuit educational endeavors by focusing on both the permanent and changing traits of its distinctive pedagogy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The course is taught by\u00a0Cristiano Casalini, Ph.D., a Research Scholar at the Institute and an Associate Professor at the Lynch School of Education of Boston College, where he teaches History of Jesuit Education and Philosophy of Education. His field of research is mainly early modern education and especially Jesuit education. He worked on critical texts and commentaries of 16th and 17th century classics of education, especially in and around the Jesuit order. He also provided with Claude Pavur the first volume of a series devoted to the history of Jesuit pedagogy, entitled\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/jesuitsources.bc.edu\/jesuit-pedagogy-1540-1616-a-reader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Jesuit Pedagogy.
