Current Issue
Vol. 3 No. 1 (2022): Spring issue
This is the fourth issue of DISCERN and once again we received a variety of articles dealing with diverse aspects of social design and innovation. Inevitably, the pandemic caused delays to the reviewing process for which we offer our apologies to the authors. As always, we seek reviewers whose first language is English to help with the review process.
Enjoy the Sping 2022 issue of DISCERN.
