Summary/Abstract: This essay describes the professional path of the author in the context of her spontaneous decision almost 30 years ago to study Turcology and reveals the effects of this decision not only on her work choices but also on the way she has started to see her homeland and the world. Numerous encounters with people from the global south as opposed to the mainstream discourses about them in the global north have aroused her interest in topics like racism, discrimination and minority rights, and eventually made her decide to do a PhD in the field of Critical Discourse Analysis focusing on the media representations of refugees in several European countries.
