Dr Krzysztof Batorowicz - Equal Opportunity Co-Ordinator

   
After completing his degree in law and two years of legal practice, Dr Krzysztof Batorowicz occupied various legal positions in Poland within the justice system, including the position of judge.

In 1984 he visited Australia and made contacts within the higher education sector. He undertook some research work and developed an interest in human rights, equal opportunity, sociology and education. Since that time he has been living permanently in Australia and has worked in the higher education sector in Adelaide, Melbourne and Toowoomba.

His formal educational qualifications include: Master's degree in Law and a Graduate Diploma in Industrial Relations from the University of Wroclaw; Graduate Diploma in Education, Bachelor's degree in Education and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Adelaide.

Recently, he has developed a particular interest in the area of multiculturalism, seen as an interdisciplinary phenomenon with wider implications for contemporary societies. In his writings he undertakes analyses of the benefits of the multicultural policy and criticises the discrepancy between theoretical assumptions and practice. He tries to develop the Australian multicultural policy and apply it, after some modifications, to other societies and countries, especially in Europe.

In addition to presentations at conferences in Australia he has been invited to present papers in Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, Finland, Poland and New Zealand. His works are widely published in Australia and overseas
