On 6 October 2025 (13.00-15.30), the Agenda 2030 Graduate School at Lund University will be hosting a seminar in hybrid format (in-person and online) titled ‘’Who do you think you are? Understanding impostor phenomenon and inner conflict reasoning’’.
About the seminar
To work within academia can be exciting as you get to explore your scientific field and contribute to a better understanding of our surrounding world. But it can also be conflicting, lonely and filled to the brim with pressure. If you look inward, you might be in a place where you do not feel you belong, are good enough or are not taken seriously. That you are an impostor. But is you who are really the problem? If you look outward, it can be frustrating to think why we are not acting more against things that we all know are bad for us, such as taking the car instead of biking, flying, eating too much sugar etc. But is it a lost cause or can we do something about it?
Dr. Maria Wolrath Söderberg (docent in rhetoric at Södertörn University) and Dr. Sanne Feenstra (assistant professor and content director at Amsterdam Leadership Lab at Vrije Universitet, Amsterdam) will both be speaking at the seminar .
