EMERGE, A Matrix for Ethnographic Collaboration and Practice

EMERGE is a distributed project with ethnography research spaces based in Canada and the United States, with collaborators undertaking work around the world. It is supported by a Partnership Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

In 2025, EMERGE research spaces are experimenting with open peer review of manuscripts prior to journal submission. Looking ahead, we see review of preprints by researchers outside of EMERGE as an avenue for further internationalizing the project.
