Caffeinated On a Train Lily and Lorraine

Is time even real? Join us for a colourful discussion of clock-time, how artificial linear temporality and deadlines are, sleep cycles and zoom fatigue, Lily’s research on capitalism and industrial time, and an oddly large number of forest-related metaphors. Post your favourite academic articles about temporality on the social media platform of your choice!

Is academia bullshit? Ready your truth-claims and place an order at your local Burger King, because we’re about to find out! We talk about treating Enlightenment philosophers, the value of deconstructive language versus accessibility, and are joined by a very special guest.
