Impostor Syndrome Workshop

The Equity & Inclusion in PHAS team presents “Impostor Syndrome,” a workshop run by astrophysicist Dr. Renée Hložek.

Navigating the academic environment can be stressful. Power dynamics can impact our ability to communicate clearly with each other, and can generate feelings of impostor syndrome. In this interactive workshop, we will use techniques of improvisation and changing power dynamics to explore ways we can shape our communication environment.

The session will include a short presentation, followed by a group discussion and an interactive component with improvisation exercises. It is open to people of all academic stages who are keen to think about these topics in new ways, and to try new techniques to help make our work environment a more comfortable space.

Date: Friday, July 9th, 10:00am – 12:00pm PDT via Zoom
This workshop is free!
