He visited Australia in 1984 and, after making contacts within the higher education sector, undertook research work with special reference to human rights, equal opportunity, sociology and education. Since that time he has been living permanently in Australia and has worked in the higher education sector in Adelaide, Melbourne and Toowoomba in Queensland.
Dr Batorowicz holds a Master’s degree in Law and a Graduate Diploma in Industrial Relations from the University of Wroclaw and a Graduate Diploma in Education, Bachelor of Education and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Adelaide.
Recently, he has extended his interest in the area of multiculturalism, perceived as an interdisciplinary phenomenon with wider implications for contemporary societies. In his writings he has analysed the benefits of the multicultural policy as well as the discrepancy between theoretical assumptions and actual practice. He has taken the Australian multicultural policy model and, after some modifications, has attempted to apply it to other societies, especially in Europe.
In addition to presentations at conferences in Australia, he has been invited to present papers in Italy, United Kingdom, Sweden, Hong Kong, Ireland, Finland, Poland, New
Zealand and the Philippines. His articles have been published widely in Australia and overseas.
Currently, Dr Batorowicz is the foundation Director of the Multicultural Centre at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia.
