Impostor Phenomenon in an Academic Environment

Impostor phenomenon, the feeling that you don’t truly belong, is common among academics and can negatively impact both quality of life and the pursuit of knowledge, regardless of actual achievements. This seminar will define impostor phenomenon, explore its symptoms in academic settings, and foster community discussion on strategies to overcome it. As part of Dragonfly’s Global Migration initiative, this session will raise awareness, improve mental health knowledge, and build supportive skills among academics worldwide.
