After much preparation and hard work, we are pleased to release this inaugural issue of the Journal of Gypsy Studies which is an international, peer-reviewed journal aiming to publish quality and rigorous research and scholarship, as well as intellectual conversations/interviews, book reviews, conference reports, viewpoints, and letters on the groups known as and associated with Gypsies. As the production of academic work pertaining to the cultural, social, economic, and political lives of Gypsies is increasing, there is a need for research and theoretical contributions that centre on issues of poverty, discrimination, the sedentary/nomad divide, migration, urban policies, and citizenship and identity, among others. This is particularly important as right-wing political parties are on the rise in many countries where Roma/Gypsies live. Universities that have been influential in Romani studies are being threatened with closure, and Roma/Gypsies face violent attacks and forced evictions everyday. Although some governments and international organizations engage more and more with Roma/Gypsy organisations and development and inclusion programs, tangiable change is rare on the ground. This journal has been created by the hard work and dedication of a small team of academics initiated by Başak Akgül, Doğa Elçin, and Ibrahim Sirkeci in 2015 and among several brilliant colleagues who offered help and support, including Özge Burcu Güneş, Deniz Eroğlu Utku, Danielle V. Schoon, and Margarite Blignaut. We are grateful for their support as well as many colleagues who joined the editorial boards and served as reviewers.

In the process of reintegrating Romanian research in the international landscape, publishing plays a central role. However, the pressure to publish is higher in urban planning, where articles are not necessarily the main research output. In order to answer the challenge, from its very creation, the Doctoral School of Urban Planning at “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urban Planning in Bucharest, Romania aimed to focus its program on a broader dissemination of the doctoral research results. However, since many doctoral students were not familiar with publishing, the present journal was created as an opportunity for them to practice before publishing in other journals. Therefore, this journal is aimed at presenting the doctoral research within the Doctoral School of Urban Planning at “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urban Planning to a broader audience and promoting the outstanding university research in urban planning.

The Prescriptum entitled Polonistyka nie tyko po polsku [Polish Studies not only in Polish] explains the origin of the multilingual issue of “Postscriptum Polonistyczne” that crowns the 30th anniversary of the periodical as an international publication. It was thirty years ago, in fact, that the journal, back then still a newsletter of the School of Polish Language and Culture at the University of Silesia, featured the first article by a foreign Polish studies scholar, Halina Klimsza from the Czech Republic. This text provides a very brief historical account of how the periodical became internationalised, describing the stages of its development that led to the transformation from a newsletter to a “journal of Polish and foreign Polish studies scholars”, and reporting on the editors’ most recent decisions to accept papers for publication also in the English language. The Prescriptum explains the motivation for creating this issue as a collection of Polish studies texts in the native/first languages of the foreign Polish studies scholars who wrote them. We wanted and still want to make sure that knowledge about interesting phenomena and research from Poland and in the field of Polish studies can reach all those who are curious about the world and who would otherwise not be able to obtain such information in their respective countries due to the language barrier. Moreover, we keep in mind young members of the Polish diaspora, who do not always understand the language of their ancestors.

The current issue of Religious-Philosophical Articles is devoted to the analysis of values of Latvian society from a comparative perspective. Given the multidimensional nature of the concept of ‘values’, the description, analysis and classification of values have at all times given rise to debates, controversies and even conflict. Identification of the many facets of the concept of values (as noted by Maija Kūle, professor at the University of Latvia) requires suitable competency within a broad spectrum of cultural history and knowledge of the humanities as well as dialogue in the social sphere and sensus communis. There is an understanding among philosophers that values have an ontological existence and are not evaluationdependent and can neither be destroyed nor abolished, although education and media can influence value orientation (Kūle 2016).
