<h2 align="center" class="" style="text-align: center;"><span class="" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Understanding Timor-Leste: 2019 TLSA Research Conference<o:p class=""></o:p></span></h2>
<h2 align="center" class="" style="text-align: center;"><span class="" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Liceu Campus, Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL), Avenida Cidade de Lisboa, Dili, Timor-Leste, 27–28 June 2019</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">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. <b class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This year’s conference will also have three special streams: the first on the theme of <b class="">1999: 20 Years On</b> to be convened
by Clinton Fernandes and Mica Barreto Soares; the second on the theme of <b class="">Gender Research in Timor-Leste</b> to be convened by Hannah Loney and Uka Pinto; and the third on the theme of <b class="">Agriculture </b>to be convened by Claudino Nabais
and Robert Williams. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">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 </span><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">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. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The <b class="">Understanding Timor-Leste</b> 2019 conference will be co-hosted by the </span><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Universidade
