New articles published: on Fataluku culture and children’s playgrounds

The MHI team were proud to achieve new milestones this month with published articles that were the first for most team members to have contributed to. The proceedings of the Timor Leste Studies Association Conference in 2015, Timor Leste: the Local, the Regional, the Global, published by Swinburne Press as a hard copy book in four languages was launched this month in Melbourne and Dili.  

The MHI team documented their work in two separate projects in articles in these books: research work on endangered elements of cultural heritage of the Fataluku people and creative spaces for children to play.
