Works in the field of the colonial press
A guide of the colonial press in East Timor (1900-2002), a non-funded project co-run with Vicente Paulino (UNTL). The project aims to map the colonial press in East Timor throughout three periods: the Portuguese colonization (1900-1975), the Indonesian colonization (1976-1999), and the transition of powers to the Timorese authorities under the supervision of the United Nations (1999-2002). Expected results: a scientific paper to be published in a journal and a book to be published by the Centro de Estudos de Cultura e Artes (UNTL).
