The Faculty of Education proudly extends an invitation to a free public seminar …Going to court over education: complaints against schools and the determinations reached by the courts

Presenter: Dr Linda Komesaroff, Senior Lecturer – Faculty of Education, Deakin University, MelbourneFor more than a decade, complaints have been lodged against schools and education authorities by parents of deaf students claiming discrimination. Since 2003, two such cases have been determined by the Federal Court of Australia, in the ACT and Queensland, and a third was determined by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Dr Komesaroff appeared as an expert witness in these cases and has published analyses of the legal action taken by parents over language use in deaf education, her most recent article appearing in the international journal Education and the Law.
