The project has drawn together heterogeneous knowledge practices, inviting academics, artists, and activists from around the world to co-develop curricular experiments that collectively respond to this crisis of the customary. It has done so by producing experimental co-learning situations and research possibilities for transdisciplinary collaboration that are capable of explicitly tackling the epistemic and geo-social dimensions of knowledge that are at stake in this new epoch.

However, our current financial, economic, social, political, and industrial systems are not evolving fast enough to address the pace and scale of planetary change. The concept of the Anthropocene (인류세, 人類世) has provided a novel framework for debating scientific methods of sensing these transformations, discussing more-than-human ways of inhabiting together, and exploring arti (...)

Anthropocene Working Group 2009 –
The Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) is an interdisciplinary geoscience research group dedicated to the investigation of the chronostratigraphic reality of the Anthropocene. The AWG was established in 2009 by the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS), a component body of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), the committee that oversees the standards and requirements for the ongoing review and further completion of the geologic time scale.
