This comprehensive handbook delves into the pervasive phenomenon of feeling like an "imposter" in higher education and uncovers its profound implications for contemporary educational inequalities. By posing the question of why imposter syndrome holds significant relevance in our times, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the experiences of imposter syndrome across diverse social locations, institutional positions, and intersecting inequalities. Our collection of essays seeks to provide valuable advice on navigating the university landscape, while also offering thought-provoking reflections on the complex dynamics of belonging, both within and against educational institutions. Through a fusion of creative methodologies, the chapters in this collection shed light on imposter syndrome as a socially situated phenomenon, intricately linked to entrenched inequalities and their perpetuation in higher education. By critically interrogating the notion of imposter syndrome as a universal experience, the book challenges readers to consider the nuanced and multifaceted nature of this phenomenon. It encourages a nuanced understanding of imposters, avoiding the tendency to either individualize or celebrate them as fortunate, misfits, fraudsters, or failures. Instead, it encourages a critical examination of the societal and institutional factors that contribute to the perpetuation of imposter syndrome, paving the way for more inclusive and equitable educational practices.
