NOCGS is part of an international, transdisciplinary network called the Anthropocene Commons (AC) that includes researchers, educators, activists, artists and scientists from all over the world working with the concept of ‘the Anthropocene,’ a term that describes the current epoch in which human activities have fundamentally altered the geology of the planet. By commoning our skills, knowledge, and resources, the network enacts transformative pedagogies and collective action.
We welcome you to join this network through Discord and/or the biannual Onboarding & Exchange meetings and follow the AC at @anthrocommons.
