Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Being a successful scholar requires us to coordinate many different abilities. Such 'skills' as preparing good talks, writing conference abstracts, writing convincing motivation letters, preparing one’s academic CV, writing reviews and reacting to reviews and editorial decisions, are sometimes called "professional", and may seem merely technical. In this class, we offer a different, and we think more fruitful, perspective: acquiring such abilities can be viewed as a part of the process of developing one’s scholarly persona; not as technical exercises, but as opportunities to reflect on one’s researcher identity, priorities and plans, and ultimately move towards greater intellectual independence, conscientious use of one’s (always limited) resources, and - experience tells - not infrequently greater satisfaction from one’s work. During the class, you will participate in peer-to-peer discussion and writing activities moderated by the instructors, accompanied with primers on different aspects of outward presentation of one’s scholarly identity as well as on the "inner work" on our research personae that every scholar undertakes.

Literatur

there is little literature that directly addresses professional skills in academic linguistics, but two good resources are:

D'Arcy & Salmons (2021), https://muse.jhu.edu/article/840968/pdf - a very good article based on a survey of linguistics journal editors that aims to demystify the peer review process

Kelsky (2015) "The professor is in" - a book dedicated to job-market skills across academic disciplines. It is written with the experience of the North American academic job market, so not everything is directly applicable to the *European* academic job market for *linguists*. But many ideas in the book are relevant, just take this resource with a bit of caution.
