The Palgrave Handbook of Imposter Syndrome in Higher Education

The Palgrave Handbook of Imposter Syndrome in Higher Education offers a comprehensive examination of imposter syndrome in the context of higher education. It highlights how the feeling of being a fraud is linked to current educational inequalities. The authors analyze the experiences of individuals in various social situations and institutional positions, questioning the advice often given to adapt to the academic world. Through creative methods, the figure of the imposter is critically examined, challenging both the individualization and the romanticized view of these experiences. The collection aims to develop a deeper understanding of imposter syndrome, which is considered socially situated and closely related to existing inequalities in higher education.
