Girt by Sea: Re-Imagining Australia's Security

Please join us for the launch of Girt by Sea: Re-Imagining Australia’s Security (La Trobe University Press/Black Inc) by Professor Joanne Wallis (University of Adelaide) and Professor Rebecca Strating (La Trobe University)

Hear from the authors as they discuss their reasons for reimagining how Australia should understand its strategic challenges and find lasting security. To do this, the authors turn their gazes to Australia's near region, focusing on the six maritime domains central to its national interests: the north seas (the Timor, Arafura and Coral Seas and the Torres Strait), the Western Pacific, the South China Sea, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.

Following the launch, a public Q&A session with the authors on topics covered in the book and on related contemporary Australian security issues will be moderated by Professor Jessica Gallagher, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (External Engagement).
