Topic: Imposter syndrome (or imposter phenomenon)

Day: Wednesday March 16.

Time: 14-16hs EST - 15-17hs Argentina Time (UTC-3).

 

Imposter phenomenon is the feeling that we are not as talented, skilled or successful as other people think we are and that we don't deserve everything we have obtained. It's the feeling that we are deceiving everyone around us, that we have gotten our jobs because of luck, because we are nice or because we knew the right people. 

If this feels familiar, you may be experiencing imposter phenomenon.

 

Format:

This workshop is intended for people working in mathematics. We will address the topic of imposter phenomenon in a participative fashion. We will begin with a brief presentation about what the imposter phenomenon is and the rest of the time we will facilitate group dynamics that will take place in small zoom breakout rooms. These dynamics have the goal of reflecting and sharing how the phenomenon affects us as people and as a community, and to build tools together that we can take home after the workshop. Ideally, the participants would have their cameras and mics on in order to actively participate in the breakout rooms. Due to the nature of the workshop and group dynamics, we recommend participants to be punctual. This meeting will not be recorded.
