Fossil by Robin Banks - Lost Rocks (32)

Countless days of childhood spent searching, hunting for that elusive critter, that unfamiliar plant, hidden from light and air, hidden from my inquisitive gaze, revealed with the hammer crack of a rock breaking open. What wonder is this? Robin Banks has a passion for geology and the printed page. In her professional career, Robin has been involved in a broad range of human rights advocacy activities and has a strong background in disability rights in particular. She holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of NSW (1999). In 2000 she was admitted to practice as a Barrister and Solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia. Robin is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Tasmania, her thesis, an examination of whether and how discrimination law could use a conceptual framework that incorporates learnings from other disciplines, such as those of prejudice and unconscious bias from psychology, and what effect this might have on prevention and resolution.
