Time is fundamental to our understanding of the world, but our grasp of this familiar concept is far from complete.
This workshop aims at bringing scholars from a broad range of disciplines to a public forum on the captivating yet elusive subject of time. Our invited speakers are experts on the study of time in very diverse fields ranging from mathematics, physics, and philosophy, to performing arts, linguistics, and psychology. Together we shall explore our interpretations of time from different perspectives.
The programme is available here. Please refer to the Symposium on ‘Time’ website for information about the event, including registration.
