Imposter syndrome is a feeling well known not only to both of us, but also to many students and colleagues we talk to. It is a phenomenon that has been defined and re-defined in multiple ways. While originally described as experienced by women who despite their high accomplishments and successes 'persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise' (Clance and Imes, 1978), it now seems to refer to anything from the feeling of inadequacy that is a result of systemic oppression to the simple disbelief and doubt in one's own ability, or even to the experience of being an outsider entering or inhabiting a new social/cultural environment. We decided we can't really solve it for anyone but recognising its existence and facing it may be a good start.
