Call for Papers – Special Issue No. 91: The Uses of History in the Social Sciences
Revista Estudos Históricos, a journal published by FGV CPDOC, invites researchers to submit articles for the special issue “The Uses of History in the Social Sciences”, edited by Renato Perissinotto (UFSC/UFPR), Jaqueline Porto Zulini (FGV CPDOC), and Francisco Cleiton Vieira Silva do Rego (UFRN).
The special issue aims to bring together contributions that examine the uses of historical knowledge within the Social Sciences, encompassing fields such as Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, and Economics. It is based on the understanding that the methodologically informed incorporation of History is essential to understanding social phenomena in their processual and relational dimensions, avoiding approaches that reduce them to a juxtaposition of fixed and isolated variables.

Contributions are also expected to engage with contemporary debates on the subject, both in Brazil and internationally.
Submission period: October 15, 2026, to January 15, 2027.
Publication: Publication of articles accepted for the special issue will begin in May 2027.
