Superlinguo Linguist Job Interviews full list
The Linguist Jobs Interview series ran from May 2015 to December 2022. There are over 80 interviews with people who studied
linguistics - be it a single undergraduate subject or a full PhD - and then gone on to careers outside of academia.
Although
I ask the same questions each time, I get very different answers. For
some people, linguistics is directly applicable to their daily work,
while others find that the general skills they learnt can transfer to
other careers.
In 2022 the linguistic job interviews were edited by Martha Tsutsui Billins. Martha is a linguist whose research
focuses on the Ryukyuan language Amami Oshima, specifically honourifics
and politeness strategies in the context of language endangerment.
Martha runs Field Notes, a podcast about linguistic fieldwork.
