Accounting for Time: Keynote Address Sociology Symposium

Thursday, March 26, 2015, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
A-1046

Visiting scholar Dr. Phoebe Sengers gives the keynote address for the Sociology Symposium. Through explorations of Change Islanders’ orientations to time, I explore how everyday cognitive habits and practices of organizing action reflect deeper commitments to particular accounts of oneself as a moral actor in the world. I trace how this difference in moral orientation to time can be seen as underlying conflicts between native Change Islanders and those who come from away, between rural and urban residents, and between working and upper classes.
