Dear Friends,You are invited to participate in a series of discussions / seminars relating to various aspects of the resistance to the Indonesian occupation of Timor Leste. The seminars are based on doctoral research conducted in East Timor over the last few years, comprising around 100 individual interviews with Timorese people from all walks of life. The series will be held at the Peace Centre, Caicoli Campus, UNTL, every Thursday from 16 July to 1 Oct, 10.30am–12pm and 19.00 – 20.30pm.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the independence referendum, I hope you will join me in a free discussion of this critical period of Timor’s history. I will conduct the seminars mainly in Indonesian, however all languages are welcome. See below for the seminar program. If there are any issues you would like to raise which are not already covered in the proposed program, please contact me – I will be glad of any input you may wish to contribute.
My number is 748 9998, and my email is zeldagrimshaw@gmail.com. Hope to see you there,
Zelda Grimshaw
