This seems to me to be a situation which is beyond the point where you can remedy itself....from my own point of view, I would recommend taking your complaint right up to the top....it's outrageous to have been treated in such a way...it seems like time to take the details to heads of department, Deans,....everyone! Follow the procedures but don;t give up!! You have every right to fight your corner and have the mistakes of others called to account....

Hey all...first post but have been a 'lurker' for a while...

I have to say my imposter syndrome is almost crippling at the moment! So many contributing factors but they all seem to wittle down to the impasse: 'Who am I to say?'.....
Am just at end of second year and am finding it a drag to overcome this feeling; as a Humantities PhD I guess I look at my subject and almost feel unequal to it....but hey hum! I guess the best we can all do is just forge ahead and bluff ourselves to brilliance? I mean, surely that's what a large proportion of our predecessors have done??? ;-)
