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<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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,
</span>non-western and Indigenous philosophies of life/non-life <span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">
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. </span><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
