The Polyphony Editorial Board consists of first- to fourth-year undergraduate students and alumni from the Discovery Program for Global Learners (GDP, in short) at Okayama University. Thanks to GDP’s international student body and interdisciplinary learning environment, our members come from different countries and academic backgrounds. The editorial board follows a flat hierarchy where decisions are made in consensus.
