Katherine Fazekas Englehardt serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies within the College of Humanities at Coastal Carolina University. She joined Coastal Carolina as a Teaching Associate in Fall 2019 and was promoted to Lecturer in Fall 2022. Prior to this position, she held Visiting Assistant Professor and adjunct appointments at Willamette University, the University of Portland, and the University of Connecticut.
Her educational background includes a Ph.D. (2015) and M.A. (2011) from the University of Connecticut, and a B.A. from Bryn Mawr College (2007).
Dr. Englehardt's research focuses primarily on philosophy of time, examining issues such as the passage of time, temporal experience, the number of times that exist, time's emergence, and the possibility of conceiving timeless reality. Her work extends to metaphysics, particularly the nature of death and personal identity theories regarding survival after death, with comparative analysis across world philosophical traditions. She is currently writing a book on the emergence of time under contract with Bloomsbury.
Her recent publications demonstrate consistent scholarly output in high-impact philosophy journals, with a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated examinations of time's ontological status. Her work bridges traditional metaphysical inquiry with contemporary physics, particularly in relation to quantum gravity theories.
