FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Kate Graber (Indiana)
Xochitl Marsilli-Vargas (Emory)

Presented by the Society for Linguistic Anthropology.

An audience Q&A will follow the moderated discussion, so please come with your own questions and concerns. All are welcome.

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.

This online panel gathers several established linguistic anthropologists and asks them to share “lessons learned” from their own career experiences.
