This success has been borne from a background of relatively high disadvantage, social exclusion and other challenges such as being removed from her birth mother at a tender age to being cared for by another Indigenous family, being hearing impaired and having not spoken until 5 years of age.Forwarded by the University of Melbourne as a &leading Australian thinker,& Munya&s intellectual interests and pursuits are varied and eclectic. She is equally enthralled by science, mythology and comparative religions and is intrigued by the ways in which these three disciplines interact and inform the other. In her book, The Seven Sisters of the Pleiades she analyses several world myths on this famous star cluster to reveal our common humanity while also exploring the links between science and spirituality. Passionate about her Indigenous heritage, Munya teaches Aboriginal Dreamtime as a way of maintaining her people&s language and cultural traditions in a world where Indigenous peoples struggle to assert their Indigeneity.Proving the common adage that all lawyers are frustrated thespians, when she is not parading in her horse wig and gown, Munya has been known to grace the stage on more than one occasion, including a performance at the Lincoln Center on Broadway. An accomplished, passionate public speaker, she moves, delights, informs, entertains and captivates her audience.Event DetailsWhen: Thursday 14th July 2016Time: 7.30am - 9amWhere: iAccelerate Centre (239), Innovation Campus, Squires Way North Wollongong.
