An alumna of and former faculty member at the Center for Pacific Islands Studies (CPIS) at the University of Hawaiʻi–Mānoa and the first woman to serve as editor of The Contemporary Pacific, Professor Katerina Teaiwa is an interdisciplinary scholar, artist, and award-winning teacher of Banaban, I-Kiribati, and African American heritage born and raised in Fiji. She is a professor of Pacific studies in the School of Culture, History and Language at the Australian National University’s College of Asia and the Pacific and a senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Professor Teaiwa’s research is deeply interdisciplinary and Pacific centered; she engages histories of British, Australian, and New Zealand phosphate mining in the central Pacific by interweaving dance, archival and historical research, mixed-media arts, and storytelling.

Candice Steiner is the journal’s managing editor. She has an MA in ethnomusicology and certificate in Pacific Islands studies from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Her research interests include the music and dance of Tokelau and its diaspora and Pacific Islands representation in film music. Prior to becoming managing editor in 2019, she served as CPIS’s graduate assistant for publications from 2010 to 2016 and cofounded the center’s student writing program, Write Oceania, with former managing editor Jan Rensel.

Arielle Taitano Lowe is the assistant to the journal’s managing editor.
