Maria Balcells

Maria Balcells is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Bucknell University. Her work centers on understanding the tension between our experience of a dynamic world in which time passes and an image of time consistent with our best science, whereby objects and event exist equally and eternally in a seemingly static tapestry of spacetime. She utilizes research across a variety of disciplines including cognitive science, physics, and, more recently, anthropology and Indigenous philosophies. In the past, she has served as vice-president for the Philosophy of Time Society. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Chicago and her B.A. from Rutgers University.
