[Tlc] TLC - New Mandala Four Letter Words

[Nicholas Farrelly]

Dear TLC list,

Since its inception in 2006 *New Mandala* has continuously welcomed guest
contributions. To date we have hosted over a hundred of these. We regard
them as one of the core strengths of the website.

Building on this existing foundation of guest posts, this week we have
launched *New Mandala*'s Four Letter Words.  This series of invited
contributions will showcase short scholarly reflections (of about 500-750
words) on a number of "key" words. Our preliminary list of words (circulated
among Southeast Asianists from around the world) has already been improved
by a large number of other ideas from potential contributors.  We are keen
to encourage alternative, and even off-beat, reflections on mainland
Southeast Asia.  Any Four Letter word is fair game.
The first in the series was by TLC's very own Justin McDaniel on the topic
of "Pali".  That contribution is available at:
http://rspas.anu.edu.au/rmap/newmandala/2008/09/30/pali/

And it has already drawn a number of interesting comments.

We are still on the look-out for more contributions and any TLC subscribers
with a Four Letter Word essay in mind are strongly encouraged to get in
touch.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Nicholas
