****************************************************************************

My name is Dr Ralph Newmark from the History program and Institute of Latin
American Studies at La Trobe University. This Winter I will be running my
history subject:

"LIBERDADE: THE HISTORY OF EAST TIMOR
and the Portuguese Speaking World Through Music and Food"

at La Trobe University's City Campus. The subject is open to the general
public and students alike and I thought your members may be interested in
attending. The subject looks at the history of East Timor and the Portuguese
Empire in an effort to understand the problems that the new nation faces. It
would truly appeal to anybody who is interested in understanding East Timor
in its historical context. I have placed the full ad below if you would be
kind enough to send this email out on your membership list.
