Marwa Mehio has been an academic writing instructor since 2011 and has worked with writers in engineering, social sciences, and humanities; she also has experience with Writing Across the Disciplines and the Writing Center. Marwa has a Ph.D. (2023) in Composition and Applied Linguistics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and an M.A. (2011) and B.A. (2008) in English Literature from the American University of Beirut. As a teacher-scholar, she is interested in multilingual, transnational, and international composition; postcolonial and critical pedagogies; and the role of power, ideology, and identity in language learning and use. She believes that students are writers before they come into the classroom and the teacher’s role is to guide them through learning to draw on their existing literacies as they move to academic writing. Throughout this process, students can develop voice and agency in their writing as well as the ability to communicate in any context.
