Highly Qualified – Yet Still Doubting?
Understanding Racial Imposter Syndrom
This workshop is intended for people who have experienced racism, as internationals, people with migration backgrounds and those who identify as BIPoC.
All status groups are welcome.
A space for honest dialogue, empowerment, and collective learning.
Despite strong academic achievements, qualifications, and professional competence, many people affected by racism experience persistent self-doubt. When combined with other forms of discrimination—such as migration-related experiences, cis-hetero sexism, classism, or ableism—these doubts can intensify, reinforcing feelings of not belonging or not being “good enough.”
In this workshop, we create a supportive space for exchange and reflection. Together, we explore the roots of these feelings, how they shape our academic and professional paths, and which strategies can help us navigate them.
Through moderated discussions, shared perspectives, and mutual support, participants will deepen their understanding and develop new ways of responding.
The workshop will be conducted in English.
It will be led by Josephine Jackson, a social worker who identifies as a Black German from Tübingen. Her focus is on anti-discrimination work, anti-racism and empowerment.
Date: Friday, June 19, 2:30 to 5.30 p.m.
After you sign up, we will send you the address of the venue.
The space is accessible.
