About
Studium argues that universities survive by moving toward what still feels scarce. The site uses that rhythm to make the AI moment legible rather than mystical.
This project is interpretive history. It compresses a large story into a playable argument: the university is old, but it is rarely stable for long. When a shock cheapens knowledge, the institution does not simply disappear. It shifts upward toward whatever still seems hard to copy.
Version 1 is Europe-first because the line from Bologna onward gives the cleanest continuous institutional thread. That keeps the first build coherent. It does not imply that other scholarly traditions were absent, minor, or unimportant.
A later expansion can add Chinese academies and examinations, Islamic scholarly networks, colonial export, women’s higher education, HBCUs, and postcolonial university expansion across Asia and Africa.
