Rosemary Hunter
Rosemary Hunter is an Australian academic who has been Professor of Law and Socio-Legal Studies at Queen Mary University of London since 2014. Prior to that she lectured at Kent Law School from 2006-2014. In 1998, Hunter and Helen McKelvie were commissioned to produce a report named ''Equality of Opportunity for Women at the Victorian Bar''. The report resulted in the formation of a working group to address systemic discrimination at the Bar. Hunter is also a feminist who has written books such as ''Indirect Discrimination in the Workplace''. In this work she argued that many apparently neutral employer policies effectively disadvantage women and people from minority groups. For example, a height requirement for security guards would effectively exclude many women and Asians. Hunter was also a vocal supporter of Di Fingleton, during her imprisonment for the offence of intimidation of a witness. Fingleton's conviction was later overturned by the High Court of Australia.

Alumni Of The University Of Cambridge
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished".
