The GradLings kick off the fifth(!!) season of the program with a throwback interview with Ane, who is now an Assistant Professor at California State University Northridge where she teaches Spanish linguistics and translation. Boden and Robbie chat with Ane in the summer of 2020 as she was unwinding from finishing her dissertation and transitioning to start her career as a professor. Ane reflects about her years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and discusses how she formed different support systems that got her through her time as a graduate student. Just having finished a particularly challenging academic job market, Ane has a lot of advice about how to deal with those those frustrating application materials, managing expectations of the job market, and—most importantly—how to process and deal with failure. Especially for our listeners embarking on their own journey into the job application season, we hope you join us for this episode and season 5!

Our colleague Alyssia is finishing up her last year with us at Alabama. Her dissertation focuses on a system of her own innovation - the five A's - that addresses student motivation in the language-learning process. She gives us some excellent insight into what it's like to be in the final phases of the dissertation and getting herself ready for the job market. To no one's surprise, during Alyssia's time in the studio the GradLings get into a multitude of topics including, but not limited to: communities of practice, what "fall" means in the South, publishing, Dr. Bill VanPatten, goals, time management and a little bit of harmonizing. Interested? Check out our episode with Alyssia and let us know if the GradLings may also have a promising back-up career path in the making.
