What I Wish I Knew Then… Reflections on Building a Career in Linguistic Anthropology

An SLA Online Conversation

Friday, April 4, 2025

12pm to 1:30pm Central Time (UTC-6)

Register for the Zoom meeting at: https://tinyurl.com/slaonline2

This online panel gathers several established linguistic anthropologists and asks them to share “lessons learned” from their own career experiences.  Topics will include matters such as: job hunting, precarity, the tenure clock, publish or perish, discrimination, family and work, relocation, the demands of academic service, and work in departments other than anthropology.  An audience Q&A will follow the moderated discussion, so please come with your own questions and concerns.  All are welcome.

FEATURED SPEAKERS:

Kate Graber (Indiana)

Xochitl Marsilli-Vargas (Emory)

Tommaso Milani (Penn State)

Mike Prentice (Sheffield)

James Slotta (UT-Austin)
