I am interested in studying students of colors experiences' with imposter syndrome. As a student of color, I personally have difficulty attributing my success to my hard work/talents and tend to attribute any success to luck or the help of others. I work closely with a lot of students of color and would like to understand their experiences being a minority in higher education.

I am leaning towards adding my topic under the Imposter Syndrome page on Wikipedia because it does not mention anything regarding POC or Students of Color. I have found some great articles and even found a "test" that one can take to see how many of their thoughts/feelings are related to imposter syndrome. It was interesting!

FEEDBACK:

Love that you'll add to the Imposter Syndrome page. Do you think you'll also talk about the imposter syndrome around POC status as well that I know you had been interested in before? or will you focus more on school identities?
