The paper explores how marginalised students\u2019 imposter feelings are often in response to, and reinforced by, the exclusionary atmosphere of university, resulting in more imposter work to survive and thrive in university. Three key themes are explored: 1). the situated and relational nature of imposter feelings, 2). the uneven distribution of imposter work, and 3). the myth of individual overcoming.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Dr. Wong\u2019s research, visit his staff profile page <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/education\/about\/staff\/b-wong.aspx\">here<\/a><\/strong>.
