Conference: The Humanities in Deep Time
This conference explores the impact of deep time thinking in the environmental humanities by bringing together leading scholars, thinkers, and visionaries, and asking how the recent interest in deep time has been received in various disciplines. What role can literature play in grappling with such extended temporalities? How have historians and anthropologists coped with the need to mesh their timescales with those of the geologists? What place do religions have in shaping our understandings of both time and eternity? And how might we envisage the task of ethics from the perspective of deep time?
