Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst
I have been at Pembroke since I was an undergraduate when I read Philosophy and Theology. I then completed a Master of Studies degree in Science and Religion, and stayed on to do a D.Phil in Science and Religion under the expert supervision of Professor Alister McGrath. I have also been involved in Pembroke’s access programme OxNet since I started as an undergraduate, and am passionate about widening access to top universities.
I am an interdisciplinary researcher who focuses on the philosophical questions raised by interactions between science and religion, particularly physics and Christianity. I have written on issues in the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of time (including issues in special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, and temporal experience), and the philosophy of social media. I have also participated in cross-disciplinary collaborations with scholars from philosophy, theology, and physics.
My doctoral research concerned the theoretical support for a B-theory of time provided by special and general relativity, and examined Paul Tillich's doctrine of salvation in light of this metaphysical temporal model. I intend to publish this as a monograph in the near future.
My current research focuses on the philosophy of time, quantum mechanics, and the implications of these for both the doctrine of salvation and the interrelated notions of freedom and moral responsibility.
I currently teach a range of undergraduate papers from both Philosophy and Theology, including Science and Religion, Further Studies in Science and Religion, Psychology of Religion, Philosophy and Religion, Ethics, and General Philosophy.
