New blog: The DUS Desk

Welcome to The DUS Desk! As the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) in the Georgetown University Department of Linguistics, I help guide undergraduates through our Linguistics program and regularly draw their attention to jobs and other opportunities for LING majors. It occurs to me that some of this information might be interesting to people besides the declared majors on my email list - for example, potential linguistics majors at Georgetown and elsewhere, prospective students, and their family members.

Some categories/topics I anticipate posting about:

  • Jobs: specific job and internship opportunities for current undergraduates or recent alums

  • Careers: more general information about potential career paths for Linguistics majors

  • Grad School: tips and programs for those contemplating graduate study in Linguistics

  • Conferences: undergraduate-focused (or -friendly) conferences in Linguistics

  • Extra-curricular: Linguistics podcasts, articles, memes, and other fun items 

Stay tuned!
