Do you know what time it is? Scholars ask us to consider the disjunctures between human time and geological time.
The USC College’s Lawford Anderson (Earth Sciences), David Bottjer (Earth Sciences) and Karen Pinkus (French and Italian, and Comparative Literature) explore how humans fathom geological time and how have they adapted to the land in ways that reflect their relative degrees of thoughtfulness about this. This is one of the major issues in thinking about climate change (whether we look into the future or try to understand the past), and it is one of the central questions of how we measure “where we are” in time.
