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!

Given the opportunity and the necessary resources, studying abroad comprises a very important phase in the foreign language student's relationship with the target language. As the design of the typical study abroad experience has evolved over time to the demands of modern language education, the potential obstacles have evolved along with it, particularly the shock of arriving in a new environment with its own (very) different culture.
Giovanni has not only conducted extensive research into culture shock experienced in studying abroad, but he has produced a virtual reality program that enables students to prepare themselves more efficiently for what is awaiting them abroad. This episode is definitely one for our technology-enthusiasts! Now if only there was a virtual reality program that prepared you for the culture shock of the academic job market...
