Practical Tools for Navigating Imposter Syndrome Many academics are familiar with the feeling that their professional success is due to favorable circumstances and experience the accompanying fear of being “exposed” as an imposter. In this workshop, we explore approaches and techniques that can help improve how we deal with this challenging phenomenon. A central focus of the workshop is on teaching and applying mindfulness techniques that allow for a healthy distance and a compassionate attitude toward one's own experience. At the same time, imposter experiences will be placed in political and institutional contexts and discussed accordingly. The current state of research will be presented and discussed for all topics covered. Target Group: Women academics and research managers affiliated with the University of Bonn. If places remain, these will be opened to administrative and technical staff.

First-year students in particular often find that learning at school and learning at university are two very different matters. In your final years of high school, you were told what to learn and possibly experienced guided learning settings. Learning at university, by contrast, requires a high degree of independence and self-organization. The workshop introduces participants to different learning methods and helps them develop individual strategies for different situations of learning. Target group: First-year students (primarily in their first program-related semester) What to expect? In active group work, you will become familiar with various learning techniques such as mind mapping, the loci method, reading techniques, etc. The second date in particular will be devoted to sharing experiences with regard to experimenting with and applying what you have learned in your daily study routines.
