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 have taught 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 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. |
Dr. Bernice Maxton-Lee has longstanding editing experience in topics that range from climate change politics to corporate communications and finance. Her academic expertise lies in Asian Studies, sustainable development, environment and political economy. She is the author of Forest Conservation and Sustainability in Indonesia: A Political Economy Study of International Governance Failure (Routledge, 2020) and, together with Graeme Maxton, A Chicken Can't Lay a Duck Egg: How Covid-19 Can Solve the Climate Crisis (Changemakers Books, 2020).
Bernice regularly teaches English as a foreign language, undergraduate writing classes and corporate presentation workshops. She enjoys lifting the weight of jargon and wordiness from text to help academics, professionals, and creative writers communicate their messages clearly and effectively. |
