Elinor Clark is currently studying a philosophy of science master’s in Germany. She wants to know how groups know things. She enjoys open mic nights, coding cool things and getting on a train with no destination in mind and seeing where she ends up. "On a Sunday Afternoon" is in Short Circuit #09, Short Édition's quarterly review.
