Biography
António Fernando Marques Ribeiro Reis (Lisbon, 1948) holds a PhD in History, specialising in Cultural History and Contemporary Mentalities, from the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities (2001). He was a professor on the History degree course and the Masters in Contemporary History at the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities (1983-2010). His connection to this institution also translated into intense activity in its various scientific and management bodies, as well as his commitment to founding and affirming the Institute of Contemporary History, where he held management positions from 1993 to 2010.
A driving force behind areas of study such as the History of the First Republic, the Oppositions to the Estado Novo, the April Revolution and the Transition to Democracy, he is credited with such landmark works of contemporary Portuguese history as “Raúl Proença – Biografia de um Intelectual Político Republicano” [Raúl Proença – Biography of a Republican Political Intellectual] (Lisbon: Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda, 2003), the six volumes of “Portugal Contemporâneo” [Contemporary Portugal], coordinated by him (Lisbon: Publicações Alfa, 1990-1993, Direction and Co-authorship) or, more recently, the “Dicionário do 25 de Abril” [Dictionary of the 25th of April] (Porto, Figueirinhas, 2016-2017).
