How I Used the Latino Double Impostor Syndrome to Fuel My Career
May 2, 2019, 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at the OCC Multicultural Center
Why do many Latino students, especially in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) feel unwelcome in higher education? How can Latinos feel empowered to be in charge of their own education?
Dr. David E. Hayes-Bautista, Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, shares his personal story of how his struggles with the Latino Double Impostor Syndrome fueled his academic career in health sciences research.
While many groups can feel the Impostor Syndrome in college, Latinos have to deal with unique Latino Double Impostor Syndrome:
- They feel they are too Mexican to be American; then
- They feel they are too American to be Mexican.
How can Latino students feel that they "fit in" with the world of higher education? Especially in the sciences?
Dr. Hayes-Bautista shares how he found his academic leadership voice by confronting, and solving, his personal experience of the Latino Double Impostor Syndrome. His leadership voice has guided his research career at the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLA to achieve first-ever insights into Latinos, health and American society.
