I sometimes wish I had a "Cypriot-sounding" surname (which I'd have had if my parents' genders were reversed) so Cypriot students would come to me based on that. I've missed out on many Cypriot communities because of my surname and now I'm painfully homesick & it's not helping.

I hyphen mine, and I’m in science so it could work for you.

Sorry, I mean I've already published.

I imagined so, I started publishing with one name and moved to the other. It is a pain in the ass but if you really want it is an option. Though I think getting involved in Greek societies and giving talks would get you where you want. Homesickness is bad but it passes.

OK, so I wanted to explain this to you but I got a huge migraine. Sadly, I probably can't join a Cypriot society without being exposed to extreme anti-TC racism. And a Greek society is unsafe for me. Many Greeks are very anti-Cypriot sadly, even if discreetly. I have tried.

*migraine in the meantime — now resolved.
