Michele Back, PhD

Applied linguist and language educator with nearly twenty years of experience in applied linguistics and academic publishing. I write and publish in English y en español.  Here's more about me.

I work especially well with first generation and multilingual scholars whose work engages complexity—interdisciplinary research, critical and decolonial frameworks, and other projects that challenge dominant paradigms.

My editing work focuses on, but is not limited to:

• Clarifying the core argument so its contribution is unmistakable.

• Strengthening theoretical framing without flattening nuance.

• Addressing implicit disciplinary expectations while maintaining the integrity of your work.
