January 27, 2026 | 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET

 

All too often, women find themselves not pursuing positions and appointments they are more than capable of filling. As women, we can often find ourselves doubting our abilities, accomplishments, and qualifications. There can be an internal fear that others will discover we are underqualified, even though our actions and records say otherwise. This is the imposter phenomenon.

Dr. Somanita Kheang, Ph.D., Ed.D., of Ball State University has completed extensive research on imposter phenomenon in adult learning experiences and in postsecondary education. Please join us as Dr. Kheang discusses how this phenomenon affects women in higher education, our choices, our advancement, and ways to combat the feelings of inadequacy women face.
