Aegis Editorial Board 2021
Miranda Hilt (head editor) is a third-year student with majors in Biology, English Literary Studies, and WGSS (Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies). This is her second year with Aegis. She served as co-head editor of this year’s edition with Safiya Mohamed. Miranda is a SARNCO-trained peer advocate for Otterbein’s Women’s Gender and Sexuality Resource Center and a volunteer with the local rescue organization PetPromise. She is also currently working on a research project on systemic lupus erythematosus and vitamin D deficiency. Safiya Mohamed (head editor) is a junior English Literary and Educational Studies double major with a minor in Race & Ethnic Studies. This is her third year of being on the Aegis editorial board. She served as editor alongside Miranda Hilt this year and has enjoyed the responsibilities that have come with the role. She appreciates all the contributors who have helped make Aegis what it is. Lucy Clark is a junior Creative Writing major with a minor in Film Studies. This is Lucy’s second year as a member of Aegis. She hopes readers will enjoy the hard work that has gone into this year’s journal from both Aegis members and everyone who submitted. In her free time, Lucy has interests involving reading, movies, taking care of her plants, and spending time with her family and dog.
Kat Gibson is a third year English Literary Studies and History double major with minors in French & Francophone Studies and Film Studies. This is her second year working on Aegis. She is also a member of and on the exec board for the English honorary, Sigma Tau Delta. She is passionate about analyzing the ways that history and literature inform each other. After graduating, she plans to go to graduate school. Riley Hysell is a junior English Literary Studies and AYA integrated language arts major. This is his
second year on the Aegis editorial board. He is not that interested in readers reading about him: he would rather they read this year’s interesting and thought-provoking work.
Juli Lindenmayer is a senior at Otterbein University, majoring in English Literary Studies and WGSS (Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies) with minors in Philosophy and Film Studies. She has been a board member on Aegis for the last four years, and this will be the final edition she appears in! She has enjoyed working on Aegis because of her intrinsic love of the humanities, editing, and reading about the different content her Otterbein peers are learning about. She also enjoys the privilege of getting a free book to read for her book review (which isn’t too shabby, either). Although she isn’t quite sure where life will take her in the next couple of years, she’s working hard to make professional connections and leave herself open to lots of different possibilities: one thing she is excited about is applying to Carnegie Mellon University for a MA in Literary and Cultural Studies! She would be honored to advance her academic career at such a prestigious school. Wish her luck! Delaney Lombardi is a junior English AYA Education major, and it is her first year on Aegis’
editorial board. She is also a member of the Kappa Phi Omega sorority and the Alpha Lambda Delta/Phi Eta Sigma honors society. With her major, she plans on becoming a middle or high school English teacher and wants to instill in her students the same love of literature that she has always had. She hopes the readers enjoy this year’s journal and find something interesting within its essays.
