Imposter Phenomenon in Academic Developers: Stories, Sparring and Solace?

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

This presentation shares our story of using a digital storytelling methodology to enhance our practice. We are all senior lecturers in academic development at Glasgow Caledonian University, but with varied backgrounds and diverse routes to our current roles. As a new team (with two of us joining the university recently), in a sector emerging from the challenges related to the pandemic, we hoped to use digital storytelling as a means of connection and team building. Interestingly, a common narrative emerged in all three of our individual stories: imposter phenomenon. This is something which we all had fought against, and continue to fight with, in our careers.
