Abstract	Neither a narrowly defined curriculum nor a specific dialectical method, scholasticism was rather a culture of learning that became a contested site from its 12th-century nascence onward. Even as scholastic learning settled into an accepted role in the institution of the universitas, it continued to generate both internal polarisation and external critique. This panel will offer papers approaching the contested forms taken by scholasticism at various periods as modes of cultural expression and as sites of intellectual history.
