In wake of the recent allegations against Dyson Heydon, it is important to realise that they are just the tip of the iceberg. The profession is still dominated by patriarchal ideals and structural biases against women which reinforce this culture.
To deepen your understanding of the issues, join the PLN and our panelists for an afternoon discussion of sexism in the legal profession. Our panelists include Kathleen Foley (barrister, writer and past Associate to Justice Hayne), Molina Asthana (Vice President of the National Executive of Asian Australian Lawyers Association) and Josh Bornstein (National Head of Maurice Blackburn's Employment and Industrial Law Department). Among other topics, we will be dissecting the history of sexism in the profession and its intersectionality with racism.
The panel will be held on Tuesday 13 October at 1pm.
