Do you sit down to work on your study, work or creative project and feel overcome by a crisis of self-confidence? Frozen by self-doubt? Imposter syndrome is a well-known phenomenon in the population, though is known to effect women and minority groups unequally (Mullangi & Jagsi, 2019).

In this seminar we explore imposter syndrome from various perspectives to expand our understanding of this potentially career crippling issue.
