Graduate Studies and Professional Development in Applied Linguistics explores and demystifies multiple facets of graduate education and professional development in applied linguistics, including the experiences of master’s students, doctoral students, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career scholars and professionals. Following the diamond open-access publication model, this international series aims to 1) open up more inclusive and equitable ways to help graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals, the next generation of our field, navigate and thrive in graduate school, professional contexts, and beyond, and 2) cultivate scholarship and practical guides that address methodological, emotional, practical, ethical, professional, and other challenges and dilemmas that these individuals experience as they enter, navigate, transition from, and contribute to graduate school and professional life. 

This series welcomes a variety of methodological, theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions that help graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals navigate the challenges, rewards, and supports of academic and professional life. We are particularly interested in works featuring reflective and autoethnographic accounts that combine rich narratives with strong analytical frameworks. The primary audience this series aims to reach includes graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals working inside and outside academia, but volumes may also appeal to graduate faculty, advisors, administrators, program directors, and mid- or late-career scholars and professionals, as well as anyone committed to finding better and more motivating ways to support emerging members of the field.
