Described as "a new cosmology" (Lucy Lippard) and "a cerebral altar to the desert" (Raquel Gutiérrez), The Kármán Line investigates queer life and fantasies of space and place with an interest in unraveling colonial narratives in the American Southwest.

Atterbury is the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of American Studies at the University of New Mexico, and also holds a full-time joint lectureship with the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program. In 2025, Atterbury joined the board of FRI: the Feminist Research Institute at UNM.
