About Aperture Student Editorial Board

Aperture is edited and produced by an undergraduate student editorial board of peer editors. Our board is composed of individuals with rich writing, editing, and research experiences who are passionate about the publication of undergraduate work. 

The purpose of Aperture’s editorial committees is to provide undergraduate researchers with the opportunity to take on a position of higher responsibility, leadership, and impact in the UK academic community. Editors-in-Chief, committee chairs, and committee members will take an active role to complete weekly tasks geared toward the growth and development of the Aperture Journal.
