PPGHIS was created four decades ago. It is one of the country’s most traditional postgraduate programs in history and is always at the forefront of innovation and quality in Brazilian academic production. His concentration is in Social History. The Program inaugurated its master’s degree in 1982 and the doctorate in 1992, and meaningful names in Brazilian historiography passed through here, acting as teachers or students, preparing their dissertations and theses. Even today, it is possible to verify the impact of PPGHIS, present through its former students, in universities in the country and abroad.
