About

In this workshop we'll define and discuss the origins of the imposter phenomenon and explore research about the various imposter “cycles”  post-secondary educators tend to get caught up in. We’ll also zoom out to look at structural (as opposed to individual) forces at play that impact these feelings of fraudulence and provide some tips to help alleviate associated stress.

Facilitator
