Ever worried that you were not as smart or as capable as people think you are? Despite having good grades, earned awards, received promotions and opportunities have you felt that you don’t belong? If so, you might have experienced feelings of “imposter syndrome” which a feeling that is especially prevalent in institutions of higher education. In this seminar I will introduce the psychological construct of imposter syndrome, describe some of the implications it has on our work and participation, and suggest some strategies for managing the feeling when it arises.
