[TimorLesteStudies] Timor-Leste workshop at AAS, Gadjah Mada University, July 8 (in person or online)

[David Webster]

Timor-Leste workshop at Association for Asian Studies, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Faculty of Law, 8 July 2024
This one-day workshop will address two main themes. First, the memory and role of young Timorese who studied in Indonesia in the 1990s, including at UGM, as a way to deepen historical understanding and promote human rights awareness, as well as increasing understanding of past Timorese-Indonesian relations. Second, a panel on Timor-Indonesia reconciliation will advance understanding and rights awareness, as mandated in the Chega and CTF reports. A middle panel will consist of a round table on a new book that proposes a changed understanding of Timor-Leste history and thus of the field of Timor-Leste studies.
The intent is not for formal papers, but rather for a conversation involving leading experts and practitioners in the topics addressed. Panelists may prepare short remarks of up to 5 minutes and circulate written materials in advance, but the time in the sessions is intended for dialogue, conversation and mutual learning, rather than formal paper presentations.
