Remembering East Timorese migration: History, memory and identity

该项目旨在研究东帝汶人向澳大利亚移民的历史，以及散居国外的人和当今澳大利亚社会如何纪念这一历史。该项目预计将产生新的见解，了解几代人的散居行为者如何在东帝汶独立后谈判历史，记忆和身份问题。这一项目的预期成果包括了解东帝汶移民社群的多样性以及随着时间的推移与澳大利亚人和其他移民社区的互动。对澳大利亚的好处包括更深入地了解这一长期散居社区不断变化的态度和需求，这可以改善澳大利亚的服务提供以及与东帝汶的双边关系。

This project aims to examine the history of East Timorese migration to Australia and how it is remembered within the diaspora and in Australian society today. The project expects to generate new insights into how diasporic actors across several generations negotiate questions of history, memory and identity after the independence of East Timor. Expected outcomes of this project include an understanding of the diversity- and interactions of the East Timorese diaspora with Australians and other migrant communities over time. Benefits to Australia include greater insights into the changing attitudes and needs of this long term diasporic community which can improve service delivery in Australia and bilateral relations with East Timor.
