Jennifer Bartmess, PhD
|
I edit and translate work for academics, researchers, museums, NGOs, foundations and companies. In addition to Bartmess Editing, I am the English editor at the gta Verlag, ETH Zurich. I teach writing modules at the University of Zurich and English as a foreign language at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and Western Pacific College (USA).
My interest in languages and dialects emerged from my upbringing in the American South as a Swiss national. An undergraduate degree in linguistics with a minor in Arabic expanded my interests to include the politics of language. Studying geography at the masters and doctoral levels allowed me to explore the complexity of environmental and political topics in the Middle East and Southeast Asia and broaden my language skills to include Indonesian/Malay. |
