Student Program
Student Program, Globalism Research Centre and Global Cities Institute, RMIT University
Timeframe: ongoing.
The Timor-Leste Program based in the Globalism Research Centre and Global Cities Institute offers supervision to students wishing to undertake honours and post-graduate research about Timor-Leste, particularly in regard to the themes of gender, nation-building, justice and security and community, or identity more generally. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Dr Damian Grenfell (damian.grenfell@rmit.edu.au) about supervision options.
Students at an undergraduate level are offered opportunities to learn about Timor-Leste and be involved in the Timor-Leste Research Program's community engagement activities, for example through guest lectures, internships and conference organization.
In 2007 the Globalism Research Centre and the School of Global Studies, Social Science and Planning offered two Honours travel scholarships, designed so as to allow Honours students an opportunity incorporate international field research in Timor-Leste as part of their research program. In June-July 2007, Jessica Korteman and Melissa Cockroft joined the team of five Globalism Institute researchers in Timor-Leste. Jessica's research tied into the Vota ba Futuru project and Melissa linked in with our interest in Gender and the Crisis and the Mapping the Pursuit of Gender Equality projects.
