From edling at lists.mail.umbc.edu Thu Nov 12 21:17:52 2026 From: edling at lists.mail.umbc.edu (Elisa Gironzetti via Edling) Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 16:17:52 -0500 Subject: [Edling] New PhD opportunity in Spanish at the University of Maryland with a focus on Language, Communication, and Pedagogy. Message-ID: New PhD opportunity in Spanish at the University of Maryland with a focus on Language, Communication, and Pedagogy. Students and faculty in this program explore how language practices, communicative forms, and multimodal meaning-making connect to knowledge, social interaction, and power, from everyday interaction to the classroom and beyond. Topics include discourse analysis, pragmatics, multiliteracies, multilingualism, second and heritage language pedagogy, teacher education, and the sociopolitical dimensions of language. It's a great fit if you come from applied linguistics, language and literature, education, communication, or translation, especially if your interests cross those lines. What you get: • Four years of funding, usually through a teaching assistantship, with real teaching experience across levels, from beginning to advanced courses, and pedagogical training • An eye-tracking lab for experimental work • Research support through grants and awards • A series of professionalization courses designed for this program: publishing, presenting at conferences, writing grant proposals, and entering the academic and non-academic job market • Paid opportunities in translation and interpreting Applications are due in January, and I'm happy to chat before then. Also open: our two-year, in-person MA in Hispanic Applied Linguistics . Both programs are taught in Spanish, so proficiency in Spanish is required. Please share this information with colleagues or students who would be a good fit. We are still in the process of updating our webpage for the PhD so for more info or questions, please contact elisag at umd.edu.
