Venue: Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Aarhus University, building 1630, room 301

How do humans organize and experience time across lives, situations and scales? Should time be considered a process, a resource, a structure, all of the above or something else? How do the rhythms of the universe and the biological clocks of the body interact with structures of social organization and patterns of anticipation and prediction?

This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars in social science and humanities in Denmark interested in time research in individuals, organizations and societies. The aim is to discuss the status quo, present ongoing research activities and explore possible pathways for future time research.
