Monica Macaulay is working on a new edition of her very popular Surviving Linguistics: A Guide for Graduate Students. We’d like your suggestions: What would you like to see in a new edition? What changes would you make? What’s missing that you would like to see? Do you have advice of your own to offer to linguistics grad students and those considering graduate school in linguistics?The current edition has some sections that are primarily aimed at grad students in North America. If you’re a professor or grad student elsewhere, tell us about graduate school where you are. How is it different from or similar to what is described in the book? Do you think the expectations and experiences of grad students are reasonably universal, given the natural variation in everyone’s personal experiences? Or is graduate school and the academic job search significantly different in Australia or Japan or Germany or England or elsewhere?
You can leave your short or long suggestions here in the comments, or send them via e-mail to Cascadilla Press or Monica Macaulay. We’re eager to hear from you!
