Abstract

The Palgrave Handbook of Imposter Syndrome in Higher Education reflects on the ubiquity of imposterism and whether the notion has become so hollowed out it no longer reveals anything about the specificity of academic belonging.

In this excerpt, editors Michelle Addison, Maddie Breeze and Yvette Taylor explore whether feelings of imposterism might, in fact, be a rational response to the entrenched structural inequalities in universities.
