Dear Colleague, The idea behind the composition of this issue of the International Journal of Social Quality is twofold. First is to present studies from different epistemic worlds. The second is to present demonstrations of endeavors to explicate the application of the different epistemic worlds on societal, political, and global levels. Also included are the contents from the previous issue titled: Experiencing Dignity while Accessing Public Services in the Global North and South.
