Ethnicity and Democratic Governance (EDG) is a five-year Major Collaborative Research Initiative funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Its central research question is "How can societies respond to the opportunities and challenges raised by ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural differences, and do so in ways that promote democracy, social justice, peace and stability?"

The Student Research Network (SRN) is a key component of the Ethnicity and Democratic Governance project's student development strategy. Facilitated through an online discussion board, it is designed to help achieve four broad goals: create a useful, central resource for students researching nationalism, ethnicity, democratic governance, citizenship, multiculturalism, international intervention, immigration, social integration and other related topics; involve undergraduates in the project; provide opportunities for new scholars - particularly graduate students - to form relationships with others who share their research interests; and disseminate information related to the project to both affiliated and unaffiliated students.
