The Advocacy Through Art and Sciences Association (ATASA)

Welcome to Our Site!
The Anthropocene is an emerging epoch in the Earth system that requires a “state shift” in the way we think... Human activities have a decisive causal influence on the Earth system, but to date the responses of the social sciences to the challenge have been inadequate. It is necessary to do better.
- Dryzek, John S., and Jonathan Pickering, 2019
