is a lecturer in Comparative Literature at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 and a researcher at .

Merve is a scholar of comparative literature and environmental humanities whose research examines representations of environmental destruction in speculative fiction, film, and the visual arts from Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA). She works with Arabic, Turkish, and Anglophone sources that tackle issues such as climate change, extractivism, extinction, and environmental justice. Her research critically engages with the discourse of the Anthropocene and demonstrates how cultural production in SWANA challenges and redefines universalist conceptualizations of the term. Her current book project examines conceptions of futurity and environmental justice in SWANA from a comparative perspective. 

Merve has received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Penn State 木瓜福利影视, where she has taught comparative literature, world literature, English composition, and Arabic language courses. Before joining Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the European Research Council-funded CoFutures project (Department of Culture, Religion, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, 木瓜福利影视 of Oslo). She is a co-creator of the podcast series, run by the Liberal Arts Collective at Penn State. Merve has also translated academic books and articles on topics such as gender politics, cultural history, and literary theory.
