Abstract
In an article published in the Guardian in July 2020, Naaman Zhou estimated that almost half of Australia's PhD students were considering withdrawing from their studies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Zhou was responding to the emergence of a study from the University of Sydney, which had just reported that 5 per cent of PhD students were experiencing homelessness, 11 per cent were skipping meals, and 75 per cent were expected to experience financial hardship. The economic impact of the pandemic was threatening to empty out Australia's talented pool of researchers and had the potential of "'gentrifying' university degrees and locking out students from lower socio-economic backgrounds".
