discuss issues and current research pertaining to Malaysia, Singapore, and/or
Brunei.  The Conference is being organized by Dr. Sharon Carstens,
Department of Anthropology, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon 97201

assure that you receive this information (it will be posted on these electronic
fora and sent by snail mail), contact Dr. Carstens.
