About us.
Earthrise is the first student-led environmental journal. It was launched on December 24th, 2018, fifty years after the Apollo 8 mission captured a world-changing photograph of the Earth rising alone above the lunar horizon. The shift in perspective that Earthrise offered was a powerful spark that has shaped the contemporary environmental movement and, 50 years on from the Earthrise photograph, we hope to be part of the discussion that will drive us towards a better future.
Through essays, news, poetry, reviews, nature writing, interviews, political activism, photography, and more, we aim to challenge the complacency around our current environmental crises – the greatest challenge of the contemporary era – and inspire new ways of seeing our shared world.
Throughout the year we will host events that are free to our members including launch parties, workshops, pitches over coffee, walks, pub socials, and film nights. We intend to develop a wider community with other Earthrise societies and contributors at other universities, and potentially organise events to bring these different groups together.
Fun night with the editorial board!
