Abstract:

Success in academia requires more than an understanding of discipline-specific
literature and an ability to teach and do research. It is also necessary to
develop an understanding of a range of professionally-oriented skills such as
how to identify and apply to doctoral programs, how to make the most of
conferences, how to achieve a semblance of work-life balance, and how to land
a job. Unfortunately, however, training on such professional matters is often
inconsistent and/or idiosyncratic. This book seeks to consolidate and
demystify these critical and often-misunderstood aspects of professional
development in the context of applied linguistics. Put another way, this book
is an attempt at the text many of us wish we had as we began our graduate
studies. Throughout the book, readers will find anecdotes and insights
informed by individual authors’ first-hand experiences. The resulting tone
across the volume is that of a meet-up with a trusted and thoughtful mentor.
As readers “meet” with these mentors, it is the hope of this volume that their
guidance will help move readers closer to realizing their professional goals
in applied linguistics.
