Introduction: What happens if we reconsider the concept of "imposter syndrome" as a student experience in academic work? What can we learn about who knows what, how, and about what from imposter syndrome? The term "imposter syndrome" refers to the ongoing feeling, despite one's accomplishments, of being a fraud, frequently accompanied by a fear of being discovered.
Definition: Clance and Imes (1978: 241) coined the term imposter phenomenon to describe ‘an internal experience of intellectual phoniness’ among ‘high-achieving’ women who ‘persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise’ despite their achievements.
Risk:  academics students, professionals, underrepresented groups—women, members of ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities.
Symptoms: Thoughts like "I feel like a fake," "I must not fail," or "I just got lucky", Fear of not succeeding, Undermining one's own accomplishments.  Get rid of imposter syndrome: Education, Connect with mentors, Speak with experts,

Imposter Syndrome; Low Self- Esteem; Fraud; Academics students
