Description: Scholars in a variety of academic disciplines in the humanities, arts, and sciences all conceptualize time in their research. This course examines who interprets, defines, and creates time and how they do it. We will learn about concepts of time and temporality across the humanities, with an emphasis on Jewish and Christian notions. The class especially welcomes STEM-oriented students.
