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!

Episode 1.6: The Golden Nugget of Historical Linguistics
This week, the GradLings (especially Robbie) are very excited to be welcoming their fellow grad student Tommy, a French doctoral student researching the evolution of the negation marker in the French language. Tommy has been with the the department here at UA for...quite some time. In his time first in the Master's program and now on the verge of completing his dissertation, Tommy has accumulated a lot of wisdom and has been wonderful enough to share a bit of advice with us budding linguists. Of course, Justin and Boden manage to sneak in some pedagogy shop talk with Tommy.
