We are pleased to announce the 5th Pre-Conference Virtual Workshop of the Timor-Leste Studies Initiative @ the Association for Asian Studies on March 12<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7px; line-height: normal;" class="">th</span>, 2022. The project
has several aims including the promotion of Timor-Leste Studies in the Americas, the development of teaching materials and distance language learning (i.e. Tetum), and the support for archival projects on Timor-Leste and East Timorese scholars. For details,
please visit our website at <span style="color: #0462c1" class=""><a href="https://tlstudiesinitiative.org/" class="">https://tlstudiesinitiative.org/</a> </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: normal; font-family: Garamond;" class="">

Through our virtual workshop, we would like to highlight innovative research and teaching materials that pay serious academic attention to Timor-Leste. Particularly, we will encourage applications that explore Timorese perspectives on global issues (e.g. human-rights,
democratization, decolonization, the Cold War, and environmental problems), Timorese political and religious thought (e.g. community formation, gender, and self-determination), Timorese language sources and fieldwork, and problems and theories based on Timor’s
local reality. </div>
