The department is pleased to share a special series of interviews conducted by Mester with five former Editors-in-Chief, as part of an initiative to honor the journal’s legacy.
This project reflects on the journal’s history through the personal experiences of those who have shaped its direction over the years. Each interview offers insights into their time leading Mester, their academic trajectories, and their experiences as Ph.D. students at UCLA.
