THE PROMISE OF CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY
#001
What, for you, is the promise of cultural geography Responding in a variety of tones, forms and styles to this question, contributors to this collection name a specific promise they find in the subdiscipline. Across the 86 entries, each of which articulates a different promise, the compilation performs the abundance and multiplicity of cultural geography as intellectual formation and political-ethical project. The result is an open map of what cultural geography was, is, offers and might become.

PROMISES, PROMISES
The print version of ‘Promises’ arrived this week. We want to give a huge shoutout to Gomer Press in Wales, who created this beautiful object. It has been a delight working with them produce the hard copy of this book, and we are looking forward to producing books with them in the future.
