About the Journal
Emic is a magazine run out of UF's Anthropology Department, originally founded by students on the executive board for the Undergraduate Florida Anthropology Student Association. Emic is a mixed-media magazine focused on bolstering the original and academic works of undergraduates through a digital platform.
Focus and Scope
Emic values the creativity and personal nature of its submissions and welcomes non-traditional storytelling mediums as a method of conveying the diversity of human experience through an interdisciplinary lens. Emic self-identifies as “an anthro-zine centered around culture, biology, history, and society; everything that makes us human.” Emic offers early content-dissemination experience to undergraduates to demystify academic publishing, and uplift motivated students in a professional sphere.
