I first attended as an MA student, and it has shaped my research ever since. It remains one of the most special spaces I know in academia, creating room for slow, collaborative thinking and conversations beyond conferences.

My new article, “Poetic Imageries: Remembering through Poetry in Timor-Leste”, is now out Open Access in @INTPOLITSOCIO
