Traveling Through Time
During the recently completed spring term at Washington and Lee, Nathaniel Goldberg’s students in Philosophy 375 explored the philosophy of time travel: the philosophical possibility and implications.
Through the miracle of film, you can join their time-travel explorations. For their final project, the students created their own time-travel movies, and all four are available on Washington and Lee’s YouTube channel.
- Fairchilds’ Worst Day
Elizabeth Brassfield, Greg Bekiaris, Mike Drago, Max Hagler, and Joe Stockmeyer produced this movie about Fairchild van Waldenburg, a time-traveling student who has strong opinions about Mariah Carey movies.
- Sherbe(r)t
Danielle Maurer, Dewey Mixter, Jeni Pritchett, Alex Rosenfeld, and Ian Sturdy produced this movie about a Jeopardy! contestant, the name of a dessert and time travel.
- The Power of Love
Eric Gehman, Jamie Goodin, K. C. Jones, Richard Knack, Paul Matteo, and Joe Stusek produced this still-action movie about W&L students traveling back in time to the Civil War to meet Robert E. Lee.
- There’s Somethin’ Happenin’ Here
