Are You for Real?: Imposter Syndrome, the Bible, and Society - Hardcover

by Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder (Author)

Are You for Real? is a groundbreaking work that places imposter syndrome, the Bible, and society at the same table. In this project Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder addresses the shadow of facade and fake feeling that pervade not only women, but men and non-binary persons in various ways. Matters of racism, sexism, classism, and gender come to the forefront as the author engages imposter syndrome through the lens of biblical texts. While much work on imposter syndrome situates itself in corporate environments, Buckhanon Crowder expands such professional boundaries to include religious contexts and the public square in general. Study questions at the end of each chapter provide space for both individual and institutional reflection on manifestations of imposter syndrome.
