Thanks Amina! We should talk, then! I do like taking the gender angle, too, to be honest. And I do suspect it is more prevalent in academia so I need to unpack this. I wrote a few months ago about why I think PhDs automatically prime u for impostor syndrome coz u move suddenly from being a student to being a peer expected to compete for publishing space w ppl who have 20 years experience doing so! And also of course because as u do more research u learn how little it is u really know but ppl see the PhD and expect you to be “knowledgeable”. Which u know u r. But like, not really 😉 (impostor in me again)
