ABOUT US

The Postgraduate Program in History (PPGH) at Salgado de Oliveira University focuses on Society and Movements and has two lines of research: “Society, population and cultural movements” and “Politics, Social Movements and Memory”.

The PPGH seeks to meet the demands of our time and theoretical and methodological diversities in the area of "Society and Movements." The articulation of these two fields allows, based on their developments in research lines, to analyze various aspects of the process of constructing historical knowledge, identifying both its regularities and its changes and, most importantly, highlighting the complexity of diverse social phenomena in diverse spaces and temporalities.

The man/society binomial is understood in its multiple spheres, be it economic, political or cultural, allowing the association of different perspectives on collective existence, in the most diverse aspects, seeking to understand its constitutive and transformative aspects.

Another possibility is the relationship established with historical demography in order to discern behavioral patterns and identify collective phenomena in different temporalities.

The Bachelor's Degree in History from the Distance Education Department of Salgado de Oliveira University seeks to train professionals with a critical spirit, capable of working in Basic Education, combining teaching and research, exercising mastery of the content and adequate interaction between theory and practice – with regard to didactic-pedagogical knowledge and the didactic transposition of academic knowledge –, knowledge of the various historiographical currents and the ability to produce historical knowledge.

Professionals with a degree in History typically work in public or private schools as elementary and secondary school teachers. Universo's program also aims to prepare professionals for work in niche markets such as public and private archives and other institutions where research related to artistic and cultural heritage, material and immaterial culture, is conducted.

It is also possible for History graduates to work in the mass media, in cultural and political consultancies and in areas generally linked to the collection and preservation of information, in addition to the areas of historical/cultural tourism and heritage education.
