Julia Jacobson,  Editor-in-Chief

Julia is a writer and researcher passionate about the intersections of multispecies interactions, food, and community. She is a a second year Master of Environmental Science student at the Yale School of the Environment where she studies more-than-human relationships in Colorado agriculture. Before grad school, she worked in farm-to-school education and environmental journalism. Julia was born and raised on Colorado’s western slope.

Athena Sofides, Staff Editor

Athena is a Greek-American artist, student, and researcher whose work focuses on the environment, toxicity, gender, and health. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Athena feels most at home near bodies of water, from the Narrows to the Aegean Sea. Athena is currently pursuing a Master’s of Environmental Management at the Yale School of Environment (YSE), weaving together public health, critical environmental justice, and anthropology to study the politics of environmental toxicity, embodiment, and disruption. Athena finds great joy in building community with other LGBT and chronically-ill artists and activists of the diaspora, and is animated by connection, care, love, and the healing power of community.
