The "History for Non-Historians" Study Group is an open academic space for debate on the importance of history for understanding and discussing current issues, and also to support research by students from various fields of knowledge.
Historical knowledge is essential for all professions, and in times of broad global changes, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is fundamental to reflect on the inflections we are witnessing, especially in technological terms. The idea of the "History for Non-Historians" Study Group at IDP is to discuss at each meeting the importance of History in general, to deepen knowledge about relevant research in Brazil and the world, and to introduce important Brazilian collections available online that can assist students in their research.
