Publishing opportunity for postgrads
The journal RIMA (Review of Indonesian and Malaysian Affairs) is a fully 
refereed publication which has started a new section specifically for 
postgrads. Under the heading 'Letter from the Field' it is a chance for 
postgrads to write short (2 000 words) impressionistic and free-wheeling 
articles about every day life and experiences as field researchers. The 
aim is to give a feeling of what it is like to be there and to observe 
the issues of conern to locals, conveying the whole with colour and 
freshness.
Two fine letters (by Michael Eilenberg and Paul Zeccola) appeared in 
RIMA 42 (2 &2) 2008 and we are now seeking the next 'Letter from' - with 
a deadline of mid-May 2009. We are particularly interested in hearing 
from researchers in 'outback' parts of Indonesia in the context of the 
elections - what are the reactions of locals and how is this affecting 
daily life for the researcher. Libraries, archives and 'inside' places 
are as much 'field' sites as villages. The individual voice and a light 
touch is  the key to this kind of writing.
Supervisors and /or grad students are encouraged to contact Virginia 
Hooker [virginia.hooker at anu.edu.au] or Campbell Macknight 
[macknight at ozemail.com.au] with offers of 'letters from...' This is an 
ongoing feature in RIMA so please keep it in mind for future issues, not 
just this deadline in May.
