Webinar: Time in religious relations

How does time matter in and across religious traditions? Hear diverse perspectives in this World Interfaith Harmony Week webinar.

Dr Ankur Barua researches the conceptual constellations and the social structures of the Hindu traditions, both in premodern contexts in South Asia and in colonial milieus where multiple ideas of Hindu identity were configured along transnational circuits between India, Britain, Europe, and USA 

Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst is a philosopher working at the interface between physics and Christianity, including the metaphysics of time, quantum mechanics, and social media.

Imad Ahmed’s research celebrates the relationship between Islam and astronomy, with timekeeping required for daily prayers and the calendar months that determine the boundaries between fasting and festivals. 

Finally, we will hear from Luke Wilkinson, sharing research on time in the philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938).

Join us online for an hour-long conversation on the significance of time in religious relations.

This event will begin at 1430 GMT. Please register in advance.
