Needausername Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Does anyone know anything about this program? I've been trying to look through some older posts, but most of them have to do with just the funding side. Any thoughts about the strengths of the program?
Romanista Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I really want to apply here because they have both a DH Lawrence specialist as well as a professor who writes on Englishness. But I don't think I'm going to because the funding situation is dire. So dire that the department doesn't really hide it. I believe somewhere on their website it says that the majority of their PhD students supplant their income with part-time jobs in addition to teaching and going to class. I suppose that there will always be some people who need to do that in order to make ends meet, but it just seems like a place where you are expected to partially pay for your PhD. I may still apply just because it happens to fit my research interests.
