I have two supervisors (art/film research), and neither of them have a PhD, nor have they been supervisors before. My first supervisor has been teaching BA for years and not publishing or researching very much, although he is very nice. My second supervisor has more of a profile, but only equivalent to my own. I have full funding and was really looking forward to getting stuck into some serious and difficult work, but I am finding myself totally unchallenged.
Does anyone know if there are minimum requirements for supervisors? Should they feel like supportive and interested peers, or should I feel like they have something to teach me? What should I do?
