Historia Ambiental Latinoamericana y Caribena

Aims & Scope

Historia Ambiental Latinoamericana y Caribeña (HALAC) is a journal edited by the Sociedad Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Historia Ambiental (SOLCHA).

The journal was founded during the 5th SOLCHA Symposium, held in the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, in 2010.

HALAC publishes academic papers on Environmental History in its various dimensions, with a special focus on Latin America and the Caribbean.

However, this journal considers important to expand its geographical scope, encompassing historical and environmental issues in the Americas and other continents.

Considering that interdisciplinarity is a fundamental part of the environmental history itself, this journal also values manuscripts focusing on environmental humanities, in which the relationship between society and nature is presented in a clear and solid way for the consolidation of scientific knowledge in this premise.

HALAC encourages the exchange of research and teaching experiences, disseminated through articles, book reviews and technical/scientific notes.

Publishing articles every four months, HALAC receives manuscripts for evaluation in continuous flow.

Offering free and full access to all content on this website.

All manuscripts are submitted to editorial evaluation and forwarded to ad hoc reviewers, and the entire editorial process is free of charge for authors.

HALAC does not charge a submission fee.
