Bürge Abiral

Bürge Abiral is a cultural anthropologist whose research focuses on environmental movements, alternative food networks, and gender, with an emphasis on agroecological activism in Turkey. Her work examines how markets become spaces for ecological experimentation and collective transformation, particularly under conditions of economic precarity and authoritarian governance. She received her PhD in Anthropology from Johns Hopkins University, and she is the co-editor of Postcarbon Futures: Imagining (and Enacting) New Worlds through Transition Studies (2025, Routledge). Bürge’s teaching spans environmental studies, economic anthropology, and food studies, and she is committed to fostering ethnographic sensibilities in the classroom. Before joining FSU, she was a President’s Postdoctoral Scholar at Ohio State University.
