Welcome back to Gender Gab. This month we are all about confronting our inner imposters by discussing our experiences with Imposter Syndrome. Tune in to find out about the types of imposters and why we should actually be unravelling wider structural inequalities rather than fixing individuals' behaviours. Enjoy!
