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!

We are so excited about this episode, we are doing backflips! Well, we are trying to anyways...
Sal is a PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin who works with language attitudes and identity among Latinx communities. For Sal, community is key not only in his research but also in his everyday life. He sits down with the GradLings to talk about bringing the focus of language research back to the people and communities that (socio)linguists work with. Our chat also touches on how to make this research accessible to these communities we explore. Among colleagues and mentors in the field, Sal talks about how community also plays a big role in the complexities of academic life, especially when you share your work among different disciplines (like most of us do!).
