Dear Colleagues,

In this special issue of Societies we feature some examples of the outstanding articles you can expect to find in this journal.  Our authors, all of whom serve on our editorial board,  represent a diverse range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and bring varied and challenging perspectives to our understanding of the social realm.  They are among the world's leading scholars in their respective fields and their work exemplifies excellence in research on human societies.
