Statements and Policies

Editorial Board Structure

In keeping with best practices of arts journal governance and Indigenous polity and governance, Hawaiʻi Review is run as an editorial collective. The Editor-In-Chief and Managing Editor work to facilitate, encourage, and support fellow editors in an egalitarian structure which centers the voices and editorial talents of the editorial board. Editorial work is project-based. Editorial board members present projects to the full editorial staff for consideration. All members of editorial staff work to ensure that the Editor-In-Chief and Managing Editor are supported in their administrative, logistical, and SMB-related duties for the journal.
