No. 6 (2021): Rethinking the History of Assistance and Health in Portugal (12th- 20th centuries)

The sixth issue of e-Letras com Vida brings as its thematic dossier the fascinating study (especially in times of pandemic) on health and assistance in Portugal, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, under the coordination of historians Joana Balsa de Pinho and Paulo Drumond Braga. With its multi-thematic articles, the usual international interview and critical readings, this is a diversified issue that combines the past and the present with some perspective, taking into account the redefinition of the subtitle of this journal: Revista de Estudos Globais – Humanidades, Ciências e Artes. With this redefinition, it is intended to broaden the scope of the journal, making it more interdisciplinary, and, from the close dialogue with the different areas of knowledge, providing it with new approaches framed in the emerging filed of Global Studies - thus, giving substance to the partnership with the Chair of Global Studies and with the Doctorate in Global Studies, from Universidade Aberta.
