Conquering Imposter Syndrome - Early Career Researcher, Episode 15

Описание: In this episode, Charlie and Rachael are joined by Dr Laura Varnham of Oxford University, as we talk about Imposter Syndrome. We walk through what Imposter Syndrome is, how to spot it, and how we can develop short and long-term strategies for beating it back into the abyss that is belongs in! We recognise that all of us are affected in different ways and that there are no catch-all solutions for boosting academic self-confidence, but we try to work through some ways that have helped us in the past, and may be of use to other ERCs.

The episode fits alongside Laura's helpful blog on Imposter Syndrome which you can find here: https://drlauravarnam.wordpress.com/2...

The Early Career Researcher podcast aims to provide a regular forum for discussion on all things relating to the life and work of Early Career Researchers working in the Humanities.

Join us for regular advice on applying for research jobs, careers advice, help with job applications, and discussions on issues such as mental health and wellbeing.

Our main host is Charlie, who works as a lecturer on a fixed-term contract, with nine years of lecturing experience in the UK). Charlie is joined by a number of regular co-hosts including Rachael (several years of experience in academic and related fields, including lecturing and research administration, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher); Olivia (several years of work experience prior to beginning a PhD, which she is currently in the final year of writing); and Rosie (who gained a PhD before moving into publishing, where she works as a Publishing Manager for Brepols).

Several of our episodes are accompanied by supporting blogs, and we provide useful related links in each podcast description, to help listeners to find more information and support.
