The study of linguistics at ANU draws upon the expertise of the largest concentration of linguists in the southern hemisphere, and of people teaching the largest number of languages in Australia. In the 2021 QS rankings, ANU Linguistics was ranked #1 in Australia, and #22 in the world.

ANU has strengths in Linguistics, Applied Linguistics and Forensic linguistics, and offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in these areas. In this, we examine the nature of human language from a scientific point of view: how we use language to communicate; the scope of differences and similarities in languages across the world; how languages vary and change over time and what factors impact that; how meanings are expressed and can be described; how children and adults acquire language; communication differences across cultures, and much more. Applied Linguistics approaches these questions with a focus on language as a cognitive and social phenomenon, working in contexts such as language teaching, healthcare communication, historical linguistics and the maintenance and revival of Indigenous languages, and their place in education systems. In Forensic Linguistics, linguistic skills are applied to assist criminal investigations and to contribute to solving legal cases.

ANU also has great strengths in language description, with more than forty years of research in descriptive and comparative study of the languages of Australia, the Pacific, Papua New Guinea, South-East Asia, China and Japan.

We are home to several leading research centres.

The ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Languages builds on ANU’s traditional strength in language description, and its emerging strength in sociolinguistics, as well as on cross-disciplinary work with anthropologists, philosophers, biologists and psychologists.

The Institute for Communication in Health Care works to translate cutting edge communication research into best practice and training for safe and compassionate healthcare.

What is Applied Linguistics?

Applied Linguistics is the study of how languages are used and how they can be analyzed, learned, and best be taught.  

Understanding how languages are used is crucial in understanding human behaviour as we grow, live, work and interact with each other, whether in the home, school, work, or across international boundaries, cultures and customs. 

Our study programs are designed around the practical applications of language studies which will improve your understanding of how language works in a wide range of social and professional environments 

Why choose a degree in Applied Linguistics?

Studying Applied Linguistics is useful for all sorts of employment, as it gives you an understanding of many aspects of human communication and provides you with skills that are easily transferrable to a wide range of areas.   

Studies in Applied Linguistics equip you with the necessary knowledge, tools and understanding for working in areas of interpersonal and intercultural communication, second language learning and teaching, language assessment, education, and language-related data analysis and technologies. Being part of our applied linguistics programs allows you to: 

Develop your identity as an expert in language use across first, second or multilingual language contexts 

Acquire skills in designing, conducting, and communicating language-related research.  

Emerge with a critical understanding of current approaches and developments in the field of language use, teaching and learning.  

Apply these understandings to professional practice in areas including education, translation, editing, publishing, language data analysis and language technologies. 

Become part of a global network of graduates in research, teaching, technology and administration positions.

Career Pathways

Applied linguistics majors develop skills that are highly valued by employers. These skills include:  

Critical thinking and problem solving 

Research skills 

‘Big’ language data analysis skills, corpus linguistics 

Discourse analysis of oral/written communication 

Students and alumni may find employment in government agencies, nonprofits, educational institutions, and businesses depending on their skills and experience. Our programs can provide opportunities for virtual internships or relevant part-time jobs which may be a prerequisite to finding employment. 

What transferable skills, capabilities and attributes do I develop by studying Linguistics?  

An in-depth knowledge of the main aspects of the structure and function of human languages   

An ability to analyze language data and solve problems relevant to language  

Broadly applicable and transferrable skills in engaging critically with unfamiliar analytical problems, with the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative empirical data, and with the structural analysis of such data  

Excellent understanding of the issues involved in communication across languages and cultures  

Experience and skills in working collaboratively to solve problems 

Undergraduate (English as an International Language)

The English as an International Language (EIL) major is designed for students from all language backgrounds wishing to deepen their understanding of the ways in which English is used in intercultural settings and increasingly globalised workplaces.  

You will gain a specialisation in English that enables you to demonstrate advanced knowledge of different Englishes in the world, a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between language, culture and identity, as well as advanced cultural and linguistic knowledge critical to success in today’s globalised workforce.  

You will develop your capacity to use English across a range of intercultural and multilingual settings, and to work effectively in workplaces that are multilingual, multicultural and globally interconnected. Graduates who specialise in English as an International Language will have advanced understanding and specialist skills that enable them to navigate international professional and intercultural settings.

What our graduates are doing

Dr megan yucel – learning advisor, griffith university .

What are you doing after completing your studies? 

I’m a Learning Adviser at Griffith University. Having gone through the experience of doing postgraduate study part-time while working full-time as a teacher, I feel I have a lot of empathy for the students that I assist, and helpful insights to share. Writing a PhD really enhanced my academic writing skills and so now I’m able to pass on the tips that I learned. I also work as a freelance test writer and curriculum consultant. 

How did the Master of Applied Linguistics help you in your career? 

My studies in applied linguistics and specifically in the area of second language assessment have been enormously beneficial and have complemented the work that I do. For example, while at UQ’s ICTE, I co-authored and moderated an edX MOOC, IELTS Academic Preparation, which has had almost a million enrolments and is one of the 50 most popular MOOCs of all time. With this course, I was able to combine my theoretical knowledge and expertise with practical tips and strategies that provided real benefits to students who may not otherwise have been able to study abroad or afford an expensive IELTS preparation course. In addition to the professional achievement on my part, I’m proud that I was able to assist students in a practical way. 

What advice would you have for future students thinking about studying Applied Linguistics at UQ? 

My advice is that studying should be a lifelong exercise and that deciding to do postgraduate studies has benefits that go beyond the specific knowledge that you gain in your chosen field of study. The abilities to think critically, analyse, problem-solve, and express your ideas logically and fluently are just some of the skills that you will develop. The thing I love about Applied Linguistics is that it is a diverse field and there are many opportunities to use your knowledge and skills. To give an example from an area that I work in, skilled item writers are highly sought after. So I would definitely recommend giving it a go! 

Nguyen Thi Hong Nhat –  University lecturer & TESOL teacher in Vietnam

Why did you choose to study a Master of Applied Linguistics at UQ?

The field of study I chose is so much related to my work as a university lecturer and TESOL teacher in Vietnam and UQ is a very high-ranking institution which offers a comprehensive Master program of Applied Linguistics (TESOL).

If you have graduated, how did the Master of Applied Linguistics help you in your career?

The program gave me a strong foundation to do research and to teach English.

Wanhua Ma - Education Consultant for international firm

"My experience in the Applied Linguistics program has taught me valuable lessons on understanding the needs of English as a second language learners and obstacles they may come across.

"The multicultural and diverse learning environment of the programme has helped me developing important skills to communicate with people of different cultural and ethnicity backgrounds, which is essential for my everyday work.

"My degree has opened doors for me because being an UQ graduate, employers recognise that I am trained by world leading experts in the field and are equipped with solid yet practical expertise on language education."

In the future, Wanhua hopes to continue working in the field of international student education, help students achieve their study goals, as well as help English as a second language learners with their language learning.

Wanhua has a Masters in Applied Linguistics from The University of Queensland.

Linguistics

Language is what makes us human – it’s more than just a system of communication.

The study of linguistics helps us to become more aware of our use of language. It assists greatly in the learning and teaching of languages. It is particularly vital for teaching and recording Indigenous languages to ensure their survival for future generations.

Our teaching

The Department of Linguistics offers courses in the core areas of phonology, morphology and syntax and semantics to develop the skills needed for language documentation and analysis. These are complemented by sociolinguistic courses which examine language in society, communication and miscommunication.  We have a particular focus on Indigenous languages and language revival.

Our department is involved with the Kaurna Warra Pintyanthi (KWP) and  Mobile Language Team  (MLT).

Linguistics

Understanding human language.

At the core of what it means to be human, and central to so much of our interaction, is language. It’s what sets us apart from every other species on earth. Linguistics at UWA aims to grow your language understanding and skills, as well as complement other areas of study where language plays a role. Gain a foundation for a career that involves language or languages, human social organisation and culture, or the human mind. Graduates could pursue a career in research, language teaching, speech therapy, journalism and broadcasting, translation and interpreting, Indigenous education and support work, or information technology. 

UWA Linguistics is committed to sustainable academic practice. Read our working paper here .

The lead for the Discipline of Linguistics is Dr Celeste Rodriguez Louro . Dr Rodriguez Louro is also Director of UWA’s Language Lab , a hub for the study of human language and its connection to history, community, and culture. 

Linguistics is the most scientific of the humanities and the most humanistic of the sciences.

Automation and voice interactions can make life easier, but First Nations people struggle because the existing technology does not accurately recognise and understand their speech. This project is the first to support First Nations people in Australia by allowing them to use Aboriginal English, the variety of English spoken by 80% of First Nations people in Australia, when interacting with technology. It squarely addresses lack of inclusion in Google's Automated Speech Recognition products such as voice search, video search, message dictation, automated captioning, and speech APIs. To achieve this, the partnership will build rich datasets of Aboriginal English using culturally appropriate processes and protocols.

To achieve these outcomes, Google has partnered with Dr Celeste Rodriguez Louro, Director of UWA's Language Lab. The Language Lab will be responsible for culturally appropriate data management and collection, and for setting up culturally appropriate data governance. A Steering Committee made up of a majority of First Nations people has been established to oversee the project. 

This sponsored research project will demonstrate leadership in showing how academic and tech company partners can work ethically with First Nations communities and their data. We will share best practices and deliver more inclusive technologies.

This partnership builds on Dr Rodriguez Louro's and Ms Glenys Collard's longstanding collaboration. In addition to strengthening UWA as an internationally recognised hub for the study of Aboriginal English, First Nations languages and cultures, and decolonial linguistic practice, this project will create rich opportunities to train and build capacity for promising First Nations youth across Australia. These youth will be hired as research assistants, fieldworkers, and where appropriate recruited as Honours / HDR students. The project will also provide employment opportunities for First Nations consultants, scholars, and communities. 

The  Aboriginal English in the Global City: Minorities and language change project, funded through an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship to Dr Rodriguez Louro, examines how Aboriginal English is used and how it is changing.

Learn more about this project in a Research Impact Story, 'Aboriginal English: It's all in the yarning' .

Too often, introductory linguistics courses unintentionally present languages as unitary and unchanging. Students are, for example, only asked to analyse data from a single “standard” variety; data from minoritised varieties, non-native speakers, Deaf language users, and neurodiverse populations is either not presented or is reserved for “variation” or “pathology” sections. Additionally, the voices of diverse language users themselves rarely feature directly in introductory courses. 

This unintended bias toward the speech of “ideal native speaker-hearers” results in students receiving an inaccurate picture of language in use. To combat this, we are restructuring the introductory linguistics units offered at The University of Western Australia, changing their content and approach so they more accurately reflect the complex linguistic reality of our world.

This project is funded by a 2023-2024 Modern Language Association Humanities Innovation Grant to Dr Celeste Rodriguez Louro and Amanda Hamilton-Hollaway.

When languages share speakers one observed outcome is that their vocabulary differentiates while their structure converges. A monitoring process in bilingual speakers has been proposed as the mechanism responsible for vocabularies becoming more distinct over time. Words shared across a bilingual’s languages are selected less often than language distinctive words because they are ambiguous in their language membership and may be avoided in favour of an unambiguous synonym. Could monitoring also explain convergence in structure? In this study we test the hypothesis that different change outcomes for form/structure result from differences in a bilingual’s ability to monitor for these two levels.

This project is funded by an ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language Transdisciplinary and Innovation Grant, and carried out by Dr Luisa Miceli in collaboration with Professor Paola Escudero (Western Sydney University), Dr Bethwyn Evans (Australian National University), and Dr T. Mark Ellison  (Universität zu Köln).

Bringing together linguists, First Nations language experts, and archaeologists, this project innovates a style of collaboration where language knowledge and lexicography play a pivotal role in understanding Australian cultures past and present. The project explores an under-researched aspect of Australian Indigenous life: domestic uses of fire. Despite their cultural centrality, everyday practices and techniques around fire in ‘camps’ (i.e., hearths) have not been systematically documented, perhaps because they typically pertain to traditionally ‘female’ knowledge. Building upon a pilot study that involved 10 Australian languages, this project investigates an additional 30 languages from across the continent, extracting frequent lexical categories for functions and techniques related to fire, including potential regional contrasts and historical developments.

This project is funded through a 2022 Australian Linguistic Society Research Grant , and carried out by Dr Luisa Miceli in collaboration with Dr Maïa Ponsonnet  (Laboratoire Dynamique du Language, CNRS), Dr Ingrid Ward  (Archaeology, UWA) and Dr Emilie Dotte  (Archaeology, UWA).

Glenys Collard and Dr Celeste Rodriguez Louro are working with the Heart Foundation in the production of medical videos fully scripted in Aboriginal English.

This work has recently been nominated for a Health Consumer Excellence Award – for excellence in the provision of health services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health consumers.

The climate crisis is forcing us to reconsider how we live and work. The Language Lab believes in ethical, sustainable, and collaborative practice for the benefit of our planet, and ourselves. Lab Director Dr Rodriguez Louro and Dr Luisa Miceli together with former colleagues created a Working Proposal which outlines how we might engage in sustainable academic work.

Dr Rodriguez Louro moderated an online panel in 2020 and recently delivered a keynote presentation titled ‘Sustainable Linguistics: Inclusion, collaboration and making our field a safer place’ .

She also recently wrote an invited contribution to the Helsinki sustainability blog .

The Language Lab is pleased to host Ms Charlotte Yeung who is currently completing a Work Integrated Learning unit in Linguistics in collaboration with RTRFM 92.1 radio. Charlotte is working with the Lab Director on producing Language Lab, a weekly segment on The Agenda, RTRFM 92.1.

Past interns include Ms Lydia Tan (2022), Billie Pitman (2023), and Grace Shepherd (2023).

About this major

Linguistics is the study of human language. It aims to find out what language is like, and why, and to find ways to use this knowledge in understanding communication, culture, social life, and the human mind.

Each of the world's 6000 languages is a rich and textured system, with its own sounds, its own grammar, and its own identity and style. You will learn how we use language for persuading others, gathering information, organising our activities, gossiping, and ultimately structuring our societies.

Have you ever wanted to know 'In what ways are all languages the same, and in what ways they differ?', 'Are Australian English and Singapore English two separate languages?', 'How do languages change? And why?' and 'What is it about the human mind that makes language the way it is?' In linguistics, you will learn how to investigate questions like these using methods ranging from computer analysis to textual analysis and to field research expeditions on languages spoken anywhere from major cities to isolated villages.

You will become a language and communication expert. The skills you will acquire in linguistics can be used in the study of the human mind and the diversity of cultures which are relevant to a range of professional settings such as international relations, travel, community development, language teaching, general education, academic research, journalism and publishing, marketing and public relations, and computer science.

For more information on the program structure and content including unit of study information, please refer to the  Arts and Social Sciences Handbook.

This major is offered by the  Discipline of Linguistics .

Eligibility for International Students for PhD in Australia

Top phd programs in australia, top universities for phd in australia, cost of phd in australia, phd scholarships in australia, how to apply for phd in australia.

PhD in Australia  is the highest academic degree awarded by universities in most fields of study. Nine of the top 100 PhD-granting universities in the world are presently located in Australia.

So, let’s look into various aspects of obtaining a PhD in Australia, focusing on critical areas such as requirements, costs, funding opportunities, and specific considerations for Indian students.

The requirements for international students aspiring to pursue a PhD in Australia typically include several key components. These requirements may vary slightly depending on the university and the specific PhD program, but generally, they include:

Academic Qualifications

• Master’s Degree : In most cases, international students are required to have completed a relevant master’s degree with a strong academic record. Some universities may accept exceptional candidates with a bachelor’s degree and honors.
• Equivalent Qualifications : For students from countries where the master’s degree is not a prerequisite, relevant professional experience and research may be considered.

Research Proposal

• Outline : A detailed research proposal outlining the objectives, methodology, and significance of the proposed research project is usually required.
• Alignment : The proposal should align with the expertise of potential supervisors and the research strengths of the university.

English Language Proficiency

• Standardized Tests : International students are typically required to demonstrate proficiency in English through standardized tests such as  IELTS (International English Language Testing System)  or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
• Minimum Scores : Universities often set minimum scores for each component of the test (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).

Letters of Recommendation

• Academic References : Usually, two to three letters of recommendation from academic referees who can attest to the applicant’s research capabilities and academic achievements.
• Professional References : In some cases, references from employers or supervisors may also be accepted, particularly for applicants with relevant professional experience.

Interview (if applicable)

• Selection Process : Some universities or faculties may require an interview as part of the selection process. This interview may be conducted in person or online and aims to assess the applicant’s suitability for the PhD program.

Australia is home to many prestigious universities that offer a wide range of PhD programs across various fields of study. Typically, the PhD duration in Australia for a doctorate degree is 3-5 years, depending on the field of study.

Below are some trending PhD courses in Australia along with the respective universities known for excellence in those areas.

Phd Melbourne universities are particularly attractive due to their high standards of research and vibrant student communities. Universities such as the University of Melbourne and Monash University offer comprehensive PhD programs with ample resources and support for international students.

Here’s a table that includes some of the top universities for PhD programs in  Australia  along with their QS World University Rankings for 2024:

The cost of a PhD in Australia can vary based on the university and the program. There are different components like tuition fees, health insurance, research costs, etc that make up the total cost of the doctorate degree in Australia.

On average, tuition fees for international students range from 3,355 to 219,299 AUD (1.80 lakhs to 1.17 crore INR).

Cost of Living in Australia for International Students

Alt Text –  Cost of Living in Australia for International Students

For international students studying in Australia, the average yearly cost of living is 24,505 AUD, which covers things like housing, food, transportation, health insurance, and entertainment.

However, as some cities, such as Sydney and Melbourne, are more expensive than others, like Adelaide and Perth, this cost may differ based on the student’s city of residence. The lifestyle of the student can also affect the cost of living, as some may spend more or less on extracurricular activities, travel, clothing, and hobbies.

As a result, it’s critical that overseas students carefully plan their spending and take into account all of the variables that may have an impact on their cost of living in Australia.

Former Kansas wing Johnny Furphy was acquired by the Indiana Pacers with the No. 35 pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday afternoon, bringing his slide to an end after he was not chosen on Wednesday. “Last night was a very tough and humbling night for Johnny,” KU head coach Bill Self said in a press release. “The anticipation of being in the Green Room and the assurance that he and his representation had been told that he would be drafted didn’t turn out that way. It was a tough night and I thought Johnny handled it very maturely and very well, but it was not easy for he or his family.” Furphy was officially selected by the San Antonio Spurs and then immediately traded to the Pacers, who had been slated to pick only one spot later. Indiana sent San Antonio cash considerations in order to move up, according to multiple reports. “For him to come back, get drafted and find out he is traded to the Pacers is great,” Self added. “It’s an up and coming franchise. They’ve got really good players. I spoke with them (the Pacers) this morning and they were very excited about Johnny. They ended up trading up a pick to get him.” Furphy, a freshman from Melbourne, Australia, averaged 9.0 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in his lone season with the Jayhawks. Neither the Spurs nor Pacers had picked a Jayhawk in the draft since the 1980s, according to RealGM. The most prominent KU products to play for the Pacers in recent years are Scot Pollard (2003-06) and Brandon Rush (2008-11). The Pacers’ president, Kevin Pritchard, was a member of KU’s 1988 national-title team. Indiana did not make a selection in the first round, so Furphy was its first pick. The Pacers went 47-35 during the 2023-24 season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals before falling in a sweep to the eventual champion Boston Celtics. McCullar to New York Kevin McCullar Jr. came off the board with the draft’s third-to-last pick, at No. 56. He went to the New York Knicks with a pick that had previously belonged to the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets. A strong defender throughout his career, McCullar became more of a primary offensive option during his final year with the Jayhawks, which was his sixth season of college basketball overall. He averaged a career-high 18.6 points per game to go along with six rebounds and 4.2 assists. However, McCullar suffered a bone bruise to his knee early in KU’s conference schedule that diminished his offensive efficiency and kept him out of numerous games, including the Big 12 Conference and NCAA tournaments. Rehab for the knee injury also impeded his pre-draft process. Self said in the release that he “had a setback after the season as well.” “Kevin is a first-round player and I think anybody that saw him healthy this year would agree to that,” Self said. “Kevin will play in the league for a long time and the Knicks got one of the toughest players we have had in our program. We are all excited that Kevin heard his (name) called. He will be a great fit to a playoff team and such a storied franchise.” In the end, the Knicks added him to a class including previous picks Kyshawn George (Miami), Pacôme Dadiet (France) and Ajay Mitchell (UC Santa Barbara). The last Jayhawk drafted by New York was Eric Chenowith in 2001, a fellow second-round pick. Other former KU players who went on to play for the Knicks include Cole Aldrich, Marcus Morris, Svi Mykhailiuk and Wayne Selden.

Skip to Content Atmospheric research in the most extreme place on Earth: Antarctica Abhi Doddi (PhDAeroEngr’21) is collecting scientific data outdoors in a 70 mph whiteout blizzard. It is just another day of life in Antarctica. Doddi, a postdoctoral researcher in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, is leading a major study involving high-altitude balloons to improve weather forecasting on the Antarctic continent. He endured years of planning and an ocean voyage aboard an icebreaker ship to reach this remote and dangerous corner of the Earth, and despite the weather, he is excited to be here. “This sort of data has never been collected before,” Doddi said. “We want to gather small-scale turbulence data over the polar vortex using complimentary observations from radar and balloon-based  instruments. This data is very important to improve the representation of turbulence due to the atmospheric gravity waves and the polar jet stream in the current numerical weather prediction models.” Ship Journey Most U.S.-based researchers who study the Antarctic weather do so from McMurdo Station, a United States-run base that is surprisingly accessible, with daily flights aboard military cargo planes during the Antarctic summer. Doddi’s research required a much more arduous journey. He needed access to a specialized mesosphere–stratosphere–troposphere (MST) radar, and there is just one on the continent – at Syowa Station, a Japanese base only accessible by ship. Japan’s naval icebreaker Shirase makes one trip there each year. Doddi boarded in Australia. From there, it took 20 days to reach Syowa and 38 to return. “I don’t get seasick, but it gets uncomfortable when swells are 7-8 meters tall, and you’re being tossed in all directions, even while you sleep,” Doddi said. Breaking the Ice The ship could travel at 30 knots on the open ocean, but when they reached the Antarctic ice pack, travel slowed considerably as the vessel needed to repeatedly back up and accelerate forward to break through the ice. The Shirase carried roughly 180 crew plus 100 scientists and engineers. Doddi and his research partner, Tyler Mixa (MAeroEngr’14, PhD’19), were the first non-Japanese researchers to visit Syowa station. “The language barrier was the hardest thing. Of the entire crew, there were only about 10 people who spoke conversational English,” Doddi said. With no option for quick departure in the event of a medical emergency, every person on the trip needed to be in perfect health. “They want you to be bulletproof. If you get a cavity before the trip, until your dentist provides proof that it’s been filled, and your doctor has signed off on your health, and the Japanese medical team has reviewed the records, you’re not getting on the ship,” he said. Research Variety Doddi’s work focused on Antarctic atmospheric conditions, but there were a litany of other teams conducting studies across scientific disciplines. There were multiple oceanographers and aquatic life experts, as well as people doing bird studies, ice core samples, and geological surveys. “One of the teams discovered 3-4 new species of microorganisms on the trip, which was fascinating. No one had ever laid eyes on those organisms before,” he said. Even after reaching Antarctica, there was more travel – by air. Due to shallow water, the Shirase must anchor 10 miles off shore and ferry the crew and supplies to the base via helicopter. Blizzard Balloon Launches Once they landed at Syowa, Doddi’s research got underway in earnest – readying dozens of balloon payloads that would fly to 20 km in altitude while drifting up to 100 km laterally and relay turbulence measurements back in real time. The work paired broad measurements from the MST radar with precision instruments aboard the balloon-borne instrument systems developed at CU Boulder. As a major goal is improving weather forecasting, Doddi spent plenty of time outdoors in less-than-ideal weather. “We experienced three different blizzards, each lasting up to three days, with winds in excess of 60-70 mph,” he said. “Those conditions were hands down some of the best experiences of my life. That’s the data we want, even if it meant we were staying up for 48 hours. My sleep cycle was totally messed up,” he said. It did not help that during the Antarctic summer, the sun never sets. When it was not snowing, the temperature typically hovered just below freezing – practically balmy for an Antarctic summer – with the warmest days topping out at 5°C (41°F). Syowa Station, which is spread across 60 buildings, offered few comforts during down time. “The bunks on the ship were larger and more comfortable than those on the base. It was four people to a room, with no doors on any room, just curtains, and communal baths, like a gym locker room,” Doddi said. What's a Vegetarian? He also faced a unique obstacle with food. Doddi is a life-long vegetarian, but base meals were via a single Navy cafeteria cooking everyone the same food. “I’m a vegetarian from birth, and the concept of vegetarianism doesn’t exist in Japanese culture. They don’t even have a word for it. So I brought 240 shelf-stable meals as part of my personal supplies,” he said. Although Antarctica is frozen year round, there is still plenty of local wildlife. Doddi saw hundreds of emperor penguins and over 1,000 adelie penguins, in addition to seals, petrel seabirds, and albatross. He was able to do some hiking, but safety precautions were necessary. “If you were going beyond the perimeter of the base or to access a restricted portion, one of the Navy personnel had to go ahead of you to assess the conditions of the ice for cracks and crevasses,” he said. Analysis Back Home With the Antarctic field campaign complete and Doddi back in Colorado, phase two of the project begins – complex and lengthy analysis. “This was a two-month data collection project followed by a three-year modeling program,” Doddi said. “We need massive super computers to do this modeling. The overarching goal is to provide guidance to improve the weather forecasts for people in Antarctica, so this will help researchers for years to come.” In addition to Doddi, collaborators on the project are Dale Lawrence, a professor of aerospace engineering sciences at CU Boulder and director of the Research & Engineering Center for Unmanned Vehicles; Mixa from Global Atmospheric Technologies and Sciences (GATS) in Boulder; the National Institute of Polar Research in Tokyo; and Kyoto University.

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have unveiled critical insights into the intricate relationships between employment status, identity development and life satisfaction among Japanese individuals in late emerging adulthood , or their late 20s, highlighting the importance of stable employment during this pivotal life stage. Their findings were published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence on May 15. Identity reflects a sense of self and is closely associated with life satisfaction. Identity development is often considered to occur during adolescence, between age 12 and 24, and is particularly important for adults in their early 20s as they graduate from university and acquire full-time employment. However, identity development is a lifelong process and remains crucial for psychological health beyond adolescence. "Late emerging adulthood is a critical period during which many individuals secure employment, with obtaining a full-time job significantly impacting their identity development and the correlation between identity and life satisfaction," said Kai Hatano, an associate professor at the Graduate School of Sustainable System Science of Osaka Metropolitan University and lead author of the study. Studies on identity development in the period between age 24 and 29, however, remain limited. To address this knowledge gap , the research team looked into a two-wave longitudinal survey that collected data from the same 875 Japanese adults at two different points in time, in 2015 and 2019. The participants' average age was 24.74 in 2015. Participants were divided into five employment status groups: full-time, part-time, unemployed, improved employment and worsened employment. Analysis was performed to explain how identity develops in late emerging adulthood, and how employment influences identity development and its link to life satisfaction. The team's results found that identity synthesis, or the clarity and coherence of one's sense of self, decreased significantly for emerging adults who lost their jobs or transitioned from full-time to part-time employment. Individuals with stable employment had better identity synthesis and experienced less identity confusion compared to those with unstable employment. Additionally, those with higher identity synthesis reported higher life satisfaction regardless of employment status . These findings indicate that job stability plays a crucial role in shaping identity in late emerging adulthood, and that a well-developed identity is consistently linked to higher life satisfaction . These results have important implications for clinical and industrial psychology, emphasizing the need for supportive employment policies as well as other mental health interventions to promote healthy identity development. "While identity has traditionally been considered a central issue during adolescence, our study is the first to show that it remains a crucial element supporting well-being in adulthood," Hatano said. "We hope that this knowledge will deepen the understanding of psychological and social development in adults."
