The Revista Austral de Ciencias Sociales (RACS) is an open-access journal established by the Institute of Social Sciences of the Universidad Austral de Chile and published continuously since 1997. It is currently a biannual publication jointly edited by the Institute of History and Social Sciences and the Institute of Anthropological Studies, both belonging to the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities of the Universidad Austral de Chile. Issues are published in July and December each year.

RACS welcomes original articles derived from research in the theoretical and methodological fields of the social sciences—particularly Sociology and Social, Cultural, and Historical Anthropology—as well as History. Special consideration is given to works that incorporate a critical perspective from Latin America and the Global South, addressing their challenges and intellectual contributions, as well as interdisciplinary studies on capitalism, globalization, and the environment.

Authors interested in publishing in RACS undertake to submit original and unpublished manuscripts that are not simultaneously under review by another journal and to adhere to the journal’s editorial policy, available in the Editorial Policy section.

The journal receives submissions in Spanish and Portuguese during the months of March and August through the email address revistaustral@uach.cl.
