GARRIDO, Álvaro. The Role Played by Joaquim Romero Magalhães in the Creation of the Course of Economic and Social History at the University of Coimbra. e-JPH [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.86-96. ISSN 1645-6432.  https://doi.org/10.26300/f7m2-hv75.

This article summarizes the academic career of Joaquim Romero Magalhães (1942- 2018) and highlights his role in creating the discipline of Economic and Social History at the University of Coimbra, as well as in Portugal as a whole. Romero Magalhães's historiography forms part of the international discussions that have taken place about the relationship between history and economics and emphasizes the challenging and belated institutionalization of Economic History in the Portuguese academic sphere. Both this lengthy delay and his academic affiliations, in particular the influences he drew from the Annales School, help us to understand both how he perceived history and how he sought to write it. The article also includes a description of the process followed in the creation of the discipline of Economic History at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra and explains the scientific and educational understanding that Romero Magalhães assigned to economic and social history.

Palavras-chave : Portugal; History; Economics; Historiography; University of Coimbra; Romero Magalhães.
