Showing results for imposter syndrome

À mon avis
par DANIEL HARRIS | 19 mars 2019

By changing the way we discuss scholarly work, we will not only improve scholarship but also reduce the unnecessary hostility rampant in academia.

Academia has emerged as an unassuming minefield of mental health hazards. Examples from the scholarly and lay literatures detail rampant depression, anxiety and panic symptoms among academics, especially graduate students. A Continue reading of over 3,...

Though graduate students may have had their studies disrupted, this can be a time of opportunity and empowerment. It’s all a matter of perspective.

As physical distancing measures have led to universities scaling back on-campus activities, graduate students have faced significant disruptions to their programs of study. With research plans on hold, writing delayed, and completion dates pushed back, it is easy to feel powerless amidst such sweepi...

While celebrating the achievements of Black colleagues is important, we need to acknowledge that it can also be exhausting and even harmful.

Academia can be a heck of a place. It is exhausting and sometimes does not feel as rewarding as we are made to believe. For racialized groups, such as Black people, the pressure becomes more pronounced where there is an unwritten but glaring expectation to excel even in areas where other fellow scho...

The struggle for our own attention led teaching and learning specialists to design a targeted workshop series using mindfulness and other strategies.

Living in the digital age has led to many changes in human behaviour, but none perhaps as underappreciated as its impact on our ability to focus. This inability to sustain attention has in turn led to a profound change in how we read. Too many of us, who could once read deeply, may find it challengi...

They’ve been called “odd ducks,” “eccentrics” or “little professors.” Now these often brilliant but socially awkward students, diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, are flocking to postsecondary classrooms in greater numbers than ever before. Here’s how faculty are meeting the challenge.

It’s just a gesture and a sequence of words, a private signal between James Wright, an associate professor of music at Carleton University, and his student, Maureen Pytlik, to remind her not to dominate the class question period. They worked it out together, so she doesn’t become so absorbed in ...

More technology, quizzes, games and discussion boards in a class don’t necessarily lead to better teaching – they can lead to burnout for both professors and students.

Are you exhausted? Burned out? Spending too much time working and feel like your job is taking over your life? Perhaps your problem is a concept I call “overteaching” – where an instructor will devote too much time, energy and emotional labour to teaching and teaching prep. It is increasingly ...

Once hailed as the mightiest magic bullet since antibiotics, gene therapy quickly hit technical and ethical roadblocks. But the lessons learned are helping to guide the next generation of genetic research

The paradigm was profound in its simplicity: if a faulty or missing gene causes a disease, just replace that gene with a good working copy. Conceptualized in the 1960s, it was in the early ’90s that gene therapy began generating hopeful headlines on conditions ranging from cardiac arrhythmias and ...

Jadis saluée comme la plus grande découverte depuis les antibiotiques, la thérapie génique s’est rapidement heurtée à des obstacles techniques et éthiques. Cependant, les leçons tirées contribuent à orienter les travaux de la prochaine génération de chercheurs

Le principe est d’une extrême simplicité : si un gène défec-tueux ou absent cause une maladie, il suffit de le remplacer par une copie en bon état. Ce n’est qu’au début des années 1990 que la thérapie génique élaborée dans les années 1960 suscite de l’espoir pour traiter de nombr...

Modifier notre façon de discuter de la recherche en favoriserait l’excellence en plus de résister à l’hostilité injustifiée qui sévit dans notre milieu.

Bien qu’on en parle peu, le milieu universitaire est devenu un terrain miné pour la santé mentale. Selon plusieurs articles (savants et autres), les symptômes de dépression, de panique et d’anxiété sont légion chez les universitaires, particulièrement chez les étudiants aux cycles supé...

Campus support programs are helping a diverse set of students to succeed in a system that wasn’t designed for them.

Universities across the country are reassessing historical figures and renaming the buildings that commemorated them.
