Linguistics Jobs Interviews - directory of posts and resources
Superlinguo has a range of resources about studying linguistics, and how this relates to skills, jobs and careers. This post links to all the resources across this blog.
Full list of interviews
Over 80 interviews, published between 2015 and 2022. Listed in reverse chronological order. The 2022 interviews were conducted by Martha Tsutsui-Billins.
Article summary post
I teamed up qualitative researcher Dr Anuja Cabraal to use the first 50 interviews in the Superlinguo series as the basis of an article, published in Language. This article also includes an overview of careers and skills for humanities and linguistics students, and ways we can do better at helping students connect the skills they’ve learnt with future careers.
Doing your own Linguistics Jobs interviews
The Superlinguo series has ended, but I still strongly encourage you to do interviews. This post includes information about why it’s good to interview people, and how to interview people about their jobs and careers, including how I ran the Superlinguo interviews.
Superlinguo Interviews featured in For The Love of Language (Intro to Ling textbook)
Excerpts from five of the Superlinguo Linguistics Job Interviews are featured in the second edition of the introductory linguistics textbook For The Love of Language (Burridge & Stebbins, Cambridge). I use this textbook across two different undergraduate subjects, including a week on linguistics and careers.
