Abstract

HENRIQUES, António Castro. Theses in medieval history, 2010-2018: an overview. e-JPH [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.175-187. ISSN 1645-6432.  https://doi.org/10.26300/0y8r-pv20.

The present paper provides a critical overview of the 36 medieval history dissertations concluded at Portuguese universities between 2010 and 2018. Their comparatively modest numbers (825 theses were completed in history) show the low productivity of the country’s PhD programs in medieval history. Their small numbers notwithstanding, this crop of dissertations can be considered innovative: they brought forth research issues that were not a priority for earlier historiographical generations. Also, the themes studied were well integrated with international research trends on medieval history.

Keywords : Medieval History; Historiography; Methodology.
