QUT Presents

Book Launch: Finding A Way by Graeme Innes

QUT are very pleased to invite BWF audiences to join the members of the Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Research Program for the launch of Graeme Innes’ The book Finding A Way: Disability Rights and Copyright Law

Blind from birth, Graeme Innes was blessed. Blessed because he had a family who refused to view his blindness as a handicap and who instilled in him a belief in his own abilities. Blessed because he had the determination to persevere when obstacles were put in his way. And now, after a long and successful career – from lawyer to company director to Human Rights Commissioner – he has written his story. Finding a Way shares his memories of love and support, of challenges and failures, and of overcoming the discrimination so many people with disabilities face.

Monday 12 September 2016
