This two-day conference for researchers is
organised by the Timor-Leste Studies
Association (TLSA). The TLSA is an
interdisciplinary, international research
network focussed on all aspects of research
into East Timorese society, including
politics and history, economics,
communications, health, language,
agriculture and science.
This
year’s conference will also have four
special streams: the first on the
theme of 1999: 20 Years On to be convened by
Clinton Fernandes and Mica
Barreto Soares; the second on the theme of
Gender Research in
Timor-Leste to be convened by Hannah Loney
and Uka Pinto; the third on
the theme of Agriculture to be convened by
Claudino Nabais and Robert
Williams; and the fourth on the theme of
'Decolonising Knowledge'
convened by Jose Trindade. Papers are invited for all these special panels.
2019 marks
two decades since Timor-Leste’s historic
ballot on self-determination and the end of
a long period of foreign occupation. TLSA
2019 will be the occasion for a
comprehensive reassessment of the momentous
events of 1999. This special stream invites
contributions with a focus on 1999.
Papers on a
range of topics are welcome: politics,
history, culture, economics, international
solidarity, resistance organisations,
military strategy, international relations,
the 30 August referendum, international
peacekeeping, war crimes, human rights,
civil-military relations, and much more.
The
Understanding Timor-Leste 2019 conference
will be co-hosted by the Universidade
