Activities

As part of our activities, the Emerging Scholars Forum organizes a conference for ECRs, which has been held annually since 2004. We are also part of the annual conference of the Association for Canadian Studies in German-Speaking Countries (GKS), where we organize two panels for ECRs. Both formats offer a space to present work-in-progress papers and discuss them with colleagues from different career stages and disciplines. In this way, we want to support emerging scholars entering and shaping academic structures. Other formats (co-) organized by the Emerging Scholars Forum include online workshops and colloquia.

One of our core aims is to provide an interface for existing networks of emerging researchers whose work engages with Turtle Island, and thus to contribute to facilitating and deepening regional, national, and international cooperation among ECRs. In addition to regional exchange and collaborations in German-speaking countries, the Emerging Scholars Forum also actively contributes to the networking of international ECRs, for instance as part of the International Network of Emerging Scholars in Canadian Studies.
