Description of Activity
In this interactive session, Prof. Samantha Warren (Uni of Portsmouth/ In the Key of She) is in conversation with Founder of Women in CTRL Nadia Khan to debunk some myths about ‘imposter syndrome’ and women’s so-called lack of confidence when it comes to stepping up to senior roles, especially in male-dominated contexts.Using the metaphor of Cinderella’s glass slipper and drawing on findings from her research with women producing electronic music , Sam will show how roles appear to ‘just fit’ some folks and not others according to invisible criteria, and how a ‘lack of confidence’ and ‘imposter syndrome’ are fairy tale justifications that can hide systemic inequality and unconscious bias.
