Started a PhD earlier this year, alarm bells were ringing early on when being made to feel stupid in meetings and subjected to intimidating behaviour that caused me upset. I had an opportunity elsewhere early on but couldn’t take it up for practical reasons and I don’t regret that as it wasn’t right for me. I am doing well in my PhD, having put in a lot of time and effort so far. I don’t have the support of my supervisors at all now I feel and never had the level of support they give their other students. When I found out they had blocked me from opportunities they gave to their other new students- demonstrating and teaching opportunities, it was the last straw and I made a complaint requesting a change in supervision and to be treated fairly with regards to opportunities. Any advice from anyone who has dealt with these situations and processes would be much appreciated.
