ARI: Understanding "Space and Society" from a Grounded Perspective...

The main purpose of the Astrosociology Research Institute (ARI) is to develop astrosociology as a multidisciplinary academic field consisting of the social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and the arts.  Astrosociology is defined as the study of astrosocial phenomena (i.e., social, cultural, and behavioral patterns related to outer space). ARI's development of astrosociology serves to unite interested theoreticians, researchers, scholars, and students together so they may more easily collaborate on space issues from a broad social-scientific perspective; that is, a concentration on the human dimension.
