A question for #AcademicTwitter (& for those with a non-academic partner, especially women please.) Any suggestions for how to manage impostor syndrome feelings and/or low motivation? Any suggestions appreciated.
Jessica Clendenning I felt this for years, and still off and on. Academia can be toxic. I try not to interact with people in this for the prestige. I am practicing doing work I believe is valuable, knowing there are a hundred other ways I could contribute to a better world if it doesn't work out.
Jessica Clendenning Some version of non-attachment is hard but helpful. Hit me up if you need to be reminded that your work is valuable, and your value is not reducible to your work.
