A Revista Brasileira de História & Ciências Sociais (RBHCS), vinculada a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), consolida-se como um espaço dedicado ao diálogo frutífero entre essas duas áreas do saber. Nosso propósito é fomentar um intercâmbio que amplie o entendimento mútuo, sem apagar as especificidades dos campos. Dirigida a pesquisadores e docentes, portadores do título de Doutorado, que desejam publicar estudos inéditos, cujas abordagens transitem entre a História, a Antropologia, a Sociologia, a Ciência Política e as Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. A RBHCS é, portanto, um canal aberto para debates interdisciplinares que refletem a complexidade do mundo contemporâneo, promovendo a integração e a divulgação do conhecimento acadêmico. A partir de 2027, a RBHCS adotará o sistema de publicação contínua, deixando de organizar seus conteúdos em dossiês temáticos por volume.
