Dr Jutta Vincent, Professor Laurence Eaves & Professor Meghan Sullivan - Time Trialogue

This online Workshop 1 officially launched the Time Theme.

The workshop examined how different scholarly disciplines conceptualise time. While the natural sciences hold that time is objectively measurable, fundamental and independent of any social context, the humanities and social sciences are more interested in how time is socially and culturally constructed, as well as subjectively experienced.

It is therefore essential to enter into a dialogue of what we understand by time, and how different philosophies of time affect social and cultural change.
