We’ve celebrated our honorary patron, Jane Urquhart, our honorary editors, Dr. Elizabeth Waterston, Dr. Mary Rubio, and Dr. Elizabeth Epperly, and our consulting editors, Dr. Jean Mitchell and Dr. Laura Robinson. Over the next weeks and months, we’ll be highlighting the other 31 members of our interdisciplinary, international editorial board . To give you a sense of our editorial board, we asked members a series of questions.

In advance of Valentine's Day on Friday, we'll focus on love. We asked editorial board members a series of questions relating to love and friendship of many kinds in LMM's works. Below are their responses. What do you say? Let us know on social media tagging @LMMI_UPEI and using the hashtag #LMMJournalWednesdays
