Jesuit Vision of Education 1540-1773

A digital project by Ana Jofre and Rosa Bruno-Jofré .

This is a digital project intended to accompany our Oxford Research Encyclopedia's entry on Early Jesuit Vision of Education (publication forthcoming), which provides a longue durée interpretative historical synthesis of the Jesuit's vision of education from their foundation in 1540 to their suppression in 1773. It also accompanies our work,The Early Jesuits’ Transformative Vision of Education in the Context of Colonization from The Their Sixteenth-Century Beginnings to Their Suppression in 1773: A Longue Durée Synthesis and Online Interactive Map Locating the Colleges, published in Cadernos de História da Educaçao, 2023.

This project consists of two components: a geographic map and a concept map. The geographic map identifies locations of Jesuit colleges and provides a geographical narrative of the development of their educational enterprise from 1540 to 1773. The concept map offers a visual, non-linear, and interactive representation of the historical synthesis of the Jesuit's vision of education from 1540 to 1773.
