The first chapter of Advances in Sociology Research. Volume 27 addresses epistemological tensions which reflect on the accessibility of minority groups to universities in Brazil, emphasizing the role of Afro-Brazilian women. It focuses on the cosmopolitics of gender and race, taking into consideration the feminist thinkers who have raised the prospect of the intersectionality categories in gender-dominant contexts.

Next, the authors create an output-based measure of urban India’s social sustainability to be used as a primary tool to provide guidance for policymakers and to assist in decision-making and monitoring urban strategies.

Following this, the formation of a traditional immigrant dwelling in a rural settlement is discussed. The use of internal and external spaces by a family living with the production activities appropriate for rural life are investigated, taking into account factors such as male and female relationships, neighborhood relations, social beliefs and rituals, and celebrations in daily life.

This compilation also examines the aspects of discrimination facing children living with disabilities as perpetuated by policy failures, cultural and social beliefs, attitudes and practices that still prevent them from benefitting from educational opportunities.

The authors critically examine the state of health care policy in Jamaica in the context of the three leading causes of disease and mortality in the country.

Communitarian epistemology is a promising view for analyzing the nature of knowledge we share. The closing chapter points out communitarian epistemology in the ambit of social epistemology by focusing on some important perspectives of the ongoing debate. (Imprint: Nova)
