The New Zealand Geographical Society-Institute of Australian Geographers Conference, Auckland, 12-14 July 2018.
We welcome abstracts for 14 interdisciplinary sessions sponsored by the Cultural Geography Study Group. See:  https://nzgsconference2018.org/. Some Session abstracts here:

1) Session Title: New and Emerging Research in Cultural Geography

Convenors
IAG Cultural Geography Study Group Convenors
Michele Lobo (michele.lobo at deakin.edu.au)<mailto:michele.lobo at deakin.edu.au)>; Michelle Duffy (michele.duffy at newcastle.edu.au<mailto:michele.duffy at newcastle.edu.au>); Danielle Drozdzewski (danielled at unsw.edu.au<mailto:danielled at unsw.edu.au>)

In this session we provide a forum for postgraduates, early career researchers and research leaders to come together and showcase recent cutting-edge research in Cultural Geography in Australia, New Zealand and beyond. Cultural geography comprises a wide-ranging group of geographical sub-disciplines that engages with the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences. Cultural domains of geographical research continue to grow in breadth and depth, with expanding theoretical formulations, methodological approaches and fields of interest. Cultural geographers embrace the historical, material, digital, discursive and affective to advance understandings of place, space and the environment. These cultural dimensions are increasingly recognised across the full spectrum of geographical research, as seen in the emergence and growing popularity of research on


  *   elemental geographies - water, air, earth, fire
  *   mobilities
  *   digital cultures and artificial intelligence
  *   energy cultures
  *   food cultures
  *   War, Terror, Extinction, Catastrophe and 'Culturecide'
  *   diasporic cultures
  *   climate change and weather cultures
  *   dissent and activist solidarities
  *   Infrastructures and the commons
  *   Cultures of security/surveillance
  *   heritage studies
  *   multispecies politics; animal geographies
  *   new insights into gender/sexuality/race/ethnicity/religion

We welcome your paper/alternative formats welcome

Please send abstracts to Michele Lobo Michelle Duffy (Michelle.Duffy at newcastle.edu.au<mailto:Michelle.Duffy at newcastle.edu.au>) and (Michele.Lobo at deakin.edu.au<mailto:Michele.Lobo at deakin.edu.au>) by Monday 9th April and upload it on the website https://nzgsconference2018.org/.


2)      Session Title: Saltwater Country: Difference and Co-belonging in a New Climatic Regime

Convenors
Michele Lobo, Michelle Duffy, Kaya Barry, Lauren Rickards, Paul Hodge, Robyn Bartel
We invite papers that highlight encounters with seas, oceans, rocky coastlines, tidal zones, islands, mangrove environments, reefs, and species that inhabit saltwater country (land, water, air) in a 'New Climatic Regime' (Latour, 2017). This session follows on from the successful IAG supported workshop, Oceanic Responsibilities and Co-belonging (Feb 2018) that engaged stakeholders in explorations of collaborative and creative responses to climate change. Papers could explore an analysis of climate change policies in relation to risk and security. It might include practices of deep-sea mining, offshore oil/gas production, fishing or immersive bodily practices of diving and aquabatics. It could be about multispecies encounters or rangers working on coastal country (land/sea). It may focus on travelling cyclones, festivals that celebrate the elements or nonhuman forces of saltwater country that might nourish the racialized and dehumanised. We welcome theoretical as well as empirical papers that may bridge divides within and across art, science and the humanities. We invite 'minor' western, non-western and Indigenous philosophies of life/non-life that can strengthen current explorations of resilience and sustainability. By centering saltwater country (land, water and air) we are inspired by van Dooren and Rose's (2016) call for 'Lively Ethographies' that are awake to difference in human and more-than-human worlds.
Format: standard paper session but experimental formats very welcome
