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!

Like a lot of linguists, Lupe researches how language gets things done. However, her dissertation has implications beyond language use alone. As a PhD student in the Applied Linguistics program at Penn State, Lupe studies how interactions contribute to how graduate students in the Humanities are socialized into their profession, an uphill battle that has been frequently overlooked until now. Language, she finds, is the key to effective mentorship and, ultimately, good scholarship. Lupe also shares some of her experiences of being a student, instructor, and researcher across the country (and many timezones) that have informed her work. As Robbie likes to say, come get meta with us in this amazingly insightful episode of the GradLings podcast!
