Biography
Therese MacDermott is a Professor of Law at Macquarie Law School and is affiliated to the Macquarie University Lifespan Health & Wellbeing Research Centre and the Macquarie University Ethics and Agency Research Centre. She has worked in the equality law field for 30 years moving between academia, the legal profession, as a Tribunal member hearing discrimination cases, and as a consultant both regionally and locally. Her research focuses on employment law, anti-discrimination law and dispute resolution. It draws together both the theoretical underpinnings and the practical pursuit of workplace rights and their ultimate resolution. It critiques the intersection of equality discourse with legal regulation, and the access to justice available in these circumstances.
