This MAP seminar will be on the role of the imposter syndrome in academia. This will be an opportunity for us to share our own experiences and to reason together about the impact of the imposter syndrome and about possible strategies that can be used to cope with it or to overcome it. Quassim Cassam will guide and direct our conversation.
