The First Generation Access and Equity Committee of the Linguistic Society of America is on a mission:
to empower first-generation linguists by providing resources, advice and opportunities often not extended to those whose families do not have experience navigating academia or linguistic careers
to highlight the work and careers of first-gen linguists
to educate others about the strengths and resourcefulness of first-gen linguistsÂ
Our focus for the moment is on first-generation linguists in the United States of America. But we hope to expand our resources and advice to other countries as we grow!
