Recently there has been a surge of interest in way we experience time and change. Some of this work has implications regarding the metaphysics of time, such as arguments that purport to show that our apparent experience of the passage of time is necessarily illusory. Other work addresses questions about the temporal structure of experience and the nature and explanation of temporal phenomenology. For example, if change essentially takes time, does this imply that an experience of change must have a temporally extended content, the so-called specious present? Can the answer to this question tell us anything about the nature of experience more generally? The aim of the workshop is to address questions of this kind.
