Time Conference at the University of Manchester PHILOSOPHY Department

On 13th June 2016 a conference on the philosophy and psychology of time was convened at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Manchester. Speakers included Dr Luke Jones from our lab. It was a fascinating blend of talks, and very informative on both sides as to how philosophy and psychology approach the human experience of time. This seems to be part of an exciting and increasing trend of collaboration between philosophers of time and time perception psychologists.
Many thanks to the Philosophy department for organising this conference. The full program of talks was as follows:
​
Dr Luke Jones (University of Manchester): 'The Perception and Psychology of Time: An Overview'
