The provision of resources for Humanities PhD students is inadequate. There aren't enough desks, leading to enforced hot-desking, or enough money to enable us to go to conferences. Yet other faculties offer their students plenty of travel funds, and fixed desks. Although Avenue has limited space, the university could easily improve desk provision - e.g. moving the Confucius Institute back to Highfield. As it is, as a Humanities PhD, I feel incredibly undervalued. Since the university is investing a lot of money in becoming 'simply better', they should use some of this to make the Humanities 'simply better' too.
