Peta Spyrou

I am a PhD candidate in the School of Law. I am also the recipient of the Equal Opportunity Commission Scholarship, which is an industry-based opportunity to assist the commission explore equality issues facing the South Australian community.

My research explores how the equal opportunity commissions in South Australia, Victoria and federally attempt to resolve the disability discrimination complaints of primary or secondary students with disability-related problem behaviour.

I have an extensive research background having held research roles with the Parliament of South Australia, and having provided research assistance to academics from multiple disciplines, including Law and Commerce. I also have a strong interest in disability rights, developed through my industry experience as a support worker in the disability sector.
