In this year’s Annual lecture, Dr Peter Olusoga will explore imposter phenomenon, a challenge many students face as they navigate academic pressures and personal expectations. He'll discuss how imposter phenomenon affects our overall well-being, and discover how effective self-care and insight into our environments might help cultivate a healthy and sustainable academic life. There will be an opportunity to ask Dr Olusoga questions following the talk, followed by a Welcome drinks reception in Portland Hall.
