Abstract
Imposter syndrome can affect outcomes, personal goals and negatively impact all
aspects of a student’s life. Imposter Syndrome was identified in the 1970s as
stemming essentially from females being considered by society as incompetent¹.
Research has focused on multimodal therapy (including group work) to support the person with Imposter Syndrome¹.
While we can support a person who has Imposter Syndrome, getting to the source of the initial problem could reduce the resulting incidences substantially. This is a problem because the cycle of male privilege and issues emanating from the
dominant discourses are continuing. This is important because in order to reduce the incidence of this condition, we need to continue to work on equality, reducing male violence and redefining dominant discourses prevalent today.

| Other | As researchers we evolve over time - we learn new skills, broaden our thinking, and expand our horizons and networks. The world in which we work is also evolving - in some ways we are more connected than ever and in others more disconnected, and the global challenges we face are many. Just as academic employment opportunities are becoming more limited and increasingly precarious, the opportunities outside of academia are growing and the skills you develop as researchers are more in-demand by industry, business, and the not for profit and public sectors than ever before. At DocFest23 we explored how we as researchers can evolve to meet these challenges and much more! |
