About

I am an Assistant Professor of English Language and Literature at Yasar University in Izmir, Turkey. My academic journey began at Ankara University, where I studied English Language and Literature, and continued at Dokuz Eylul University, where I completed both my master's and doctoral studies in American Culture and Literature.

My research sits at the crossroads of comparative literature, memory studies, ecocriticism, and critical urban theory. I am fascinated by how literature imagines and reimagines urban spaces, ecological relations, and collective memory. My doctoral work focused on the 'Right to the City' movement and its representations in the transnational American novel, a theme that continues to shape my scholarship.

Beyond the academy, I believe in the power of literature to bridge cultures and languages. Whether I'm exploring how a Turkish novel reimagines flanerie through a feminine consciousness or examining ecological memory in postcolonial fiction, my work is driven by a conviction that stories shape how we understand our cities, our environments, and ourselves.
