Peskiza foun kona ba Timor-Leste = New research on Timor-Leste: Proceedings of the Communicating New Research on Timor-Leste Conference

Abstract

The papers included in this volume were first presented at the Timor-Leste Studies Association's 'Communicating New Research on Timor-Leste' conference, held at the Centro Formação João Paulo II in Comoro, Dili, Timor-Leste, 30 June - 1 July 2011. This was the 3rd TLSA conference, following our conferences in Melbourne (2005) and Dili (2009). More than 100 East Timorese and international delegates presented papers over two days. The conference was organised 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.
