Subject: Pat Walsh seminar in Dili tomorrow and Rebecca Engel Seminar in London in November

Many of you will know Pat Walsh, active for many years on human rights in Timor and Indonesia during the occupation and more recently on the truth and reconciliation process.  He has written a book 'The Day Hope and History Rhymed in East Timor', reflecting on aspects of Timorese life and will be in Dili on Tuesday 29th October giving a seminar at UNTL.  He has entitled it 'Has Timor-Leste’s Post-Independence Generation Lost its Mojo?' and describes it this way 'Many of Timor-Leste's 1975 generation 'worry that the post-Independence generation lacks the drive, spirit of sacrifice and altruistic commitment to the common good that energised them and delivered liberation.’

Pat Walsh will be joined by several Timorese discussants on this topic and then the floor will be open to all.
A poster is attached which you can use to invite your colleagues, students etc.  Mayra Walsh will be doing English Tetum translation. The seminar will be at the Auditorium, Campus Liceu at 4.00 pm followed by refreshments at Rudal apartments, just down the road.

For our visiting researchers in the UK there is also a seminar in November by Rebecca Engel of the Timor-Leste Studies Association UK Chapter. Here is an email from Rebecca and Monty King the convenors.

Boa tarde maluk sira!

Hope that this email finds you well and that you are having a good autumn thus far.

We would like to take an opportunity here to invite you to the next TLSA-UK meeting on 15 November at 5pm. I (Rebecca) will present an overview of my forthcoming publication based on an examination of international interventions in Timor-Leste and their impact on domestic conflict dynamics leading up to the 2006 political crisis. Building on the TL experience, this work seeks to engage with some of the trends in international support for fragile and conflict settings.

If anyone else would like to co-present (now or in the future), please do let us know. You can present ideas or works in progress in addition to completed works. For those new to TLSA-UK, we also seek to provide support to those new to the UK's higher education system. If you would like to brainstorm ideas for your MA dissertations, for example, we are happy to discuss these with you.

The meeting will take place in the FutureLearn offices in Camden, 1-11 Hawley Crescent, Camden Town, London NW1 8NP<https://www.google.com/maps/place/FutureLearn+Ltd/@51.5409067,-0.1431613,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x18fcb9f0c7695ddd!8m2!3d51.5409067!4d-0.1431613>.

Please do let us know if you can attend so that security passes can be prepared for you in advance. Also, please forward this message to others we may have missed and who may be interested in attending.

Best wishes,
Rebecca and Monty

=======================================================

Hoping to see many of you who live in Dili at the seminar tomorrow too, its not a highly academic book but Pat has many insights and the discussion should be good.  All are welcome to drinks at my place following the seminar.

best wishes

Helen
