The papers included in this volume were first presented at the Timor-Leste Studies Association's 'Understanding Timor-Leste: A Research Conference', held at the National University of Timor Lorosa'e (UNTL) in Dili, Timor-Leste, 2-3 July 2009. More than 100 East Timorese and international delegates presented papers over two days. One distinctive feature of the conference was its organisation into four language streams; with papers presented in Tetum-Dili, Portuguese, Bahasa Indonesia and English. This approach reflected the linguistic diversity of Timor-Leste, and proved a great success. This volume of edited papers reflects this approach. |
