This new issue of Periferia includes a series of methodological articles introduced by Aurora González Echevarría written by graduate students in three different moments of their career: Salvador Queralt presents part of this master thesis, Óscar López is in the beginning of his research thesis and Mónica Martínez Mauri is very close to the moment of defending her dissertation about the kuna of Panamá, after a rich and long fieldwork.

Along with this series this issue includes two thesis from doctoral dissertations: Hugo Valenzuela in Malaysia (UAB) and Bálint Ábel Bereményi in Badalona and Bogotá (UAB). Also, we are happy to introduce the in progress research by Ester Massó Guijarro about political anthropology in Africa (Universidad de Granada) and the ethical concerns and forms suggested by Lucía San Juán and the rest of researchers of the project about health in Catalonia.

Of course, this issue includes the rest of current topics as masters and doctoral thesis, research lines and book reviews. If some material if useful for somebody we will be very glad.
