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!

At 275 million speakers and growing, French remains a global force to be reckoned with. So why is there so much fuss over 'protecting' the French language? Gyula, a PhD candidate in French Linguistics at UIUC, is working towards helping understand French prescriptivist attitudes in our globalizing world. Specifically, Gyula uses computational and statistical applications to study French in social media and news items to see what French speakers actually use to communicate. In this insightful chat, Gyula and the GradLings tackle a huge variety of topics including, but not limited to: the Prescriptivist Police, shy academics, academic fangirling, and how much do you tip Noam Chomsky. Tune in and find out what #DontSayHashtag is all about!
