The Bio-Humanities Undergraduate Research Symposium is April 20 | 2:00–5:00pm | IPRH Lecture Hall, Fourth Floor, Levis Faculty Center (919 West Illinois Street, Urbana, IL).

Time is traditionally viewed as regulated, unending, and constant, yet one can relate to the feeling of time flying by in moments of joy or moving along at a snail’s pace in moments of boredom. This symposium will explore the paradox between these two relationships to time, which intersect and diverge from each other throughout daily life. By integrating models of time and temporality from various biological and cultural disciplines, we aim to form a more comprehensive understanding of the subjective experience of time. An art exhibition featuring thought-provoking pieces that illustrate the malleable nature of human temporality will accompany the presentations.
