FYI: (Non)academic Interdisciplinary Career Issues

Author:	Mai Kuha
Linguistic Field(s):	Not Applicable
FYI Body:	Dear colleagues, I am looking for linguists who would like to discuss career issues related to interdisciplinary work (in an academic environment or elsewhere) and outreach. Ideally, I would like to share feedback on drafts of job application materials, particularly statements of research interests (or, more broadly, professional mission statements). If you are interested in this type of discussion, or if you know of an existing discussion group, please contact me (mkuha@bsu.edu). If such a group does not exist yet and there is sufficient interest, I will be happy to create one. I'm already aware of these resources: Linguistic Enterprises http://www.lsadc.org/info/lingent/index.htm The ''Careers'' section of The Chronicle of Higher Education http://chronicle.com/jobs/ Re-envisioning the Ph.D. http://www.grad.washington.edu/envision/phd/index.html PhDsWork http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/7167/phdswork.html Dan Sperber's article ''Why Rethink Interdisciplinarity?'' http://www.interdisciplines.org/interdisciplinarity/papers/1/24/2 Thanks in advance for any ideas. -Mai mkuha@bsu.edu -- Mai Kuha Department of English Ball State University
