Meet the Editors.

Evangelia

Evangelia is a Creative writing student, who loves polaroid photography, books and making Zines. Evangelia has a quirky Kelpie called Maus (Pronounced Mouse) who joined her family last year. She returns this year to the Empire Times team as Editor-in Chief.

Amelia

Amelia attended Flinders for six months in 2012, left for a decade, and regretted it so much she had to come back. She is currently writing a PhD on digital horror and the fragmentation of truth in the online landscape (the latter being scarier than the ghosts). Naturally, she likes urban legends, spooky folklore, and cryptids—the best one is Mothman, obviously.

Kailani

Kailani is a 2nd year Film and TV student and loves all things visual media. As you are thinking she likes all the classics - movies, TV shows, comics and video games and enjoys talking through all of them. She also knows lots of random fun facts due to an interest in almost anything. At the end of each semester, you are likely to find her editing in the edit suites with a metal emotional support drink bottle.

A Brief History of Empire Times

Empire Times kicked off in 1969, when Martin Fabinyi launched a 15-cent student mag that quickly earned a reputation for being bold, sharp, and a bit chaotic in the best way. From campus politics to culture and everything in between, it became a fearless platform for bold perspectives on campus life, culture, and social issues.

For more than 30 years, Empire Times ran under the student union, until funding changes linked to voluntary student unionism forced it to pause in 2006. During the break, The Libertine carried the torch from 2007 to 2012.

Empire Times returned in 2013 after the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) was introduced, kicking off its modern era. Today it’s Flinders University Student Association (FUSA) official student publication, free in print around campus and online.

Empire Times is made on Kaurna land. Sovereignty was never ceded.
