About the student researcher
I'm Noor and I am a recent Psychology graduate, about to undertake a PhD at the University of Leeds. I have thoroughly enjoyed leading research concern the psychometric robustness of tools measuring the Imposter Phenomenon. My dissertation was centred around imposter syndrome in South Asian students specifically, so being able to broaden my research into different facets of a familiar construct has been very informative. I am extremely passionate about becoming an academic who fills the gap, modelling that there is space for Muslim, South Asian women within research, whose perspectives and unique insights are valued.
