SACP Annual Conference re-scheduled for 2022 in San Francisco

January 31, 2021 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

We hope this email finds you all well. Amid the complex travel circumstances this year we have decided to postpone our next meeting until Autumn 2022. Although we would love to continue as planned, we feel it would be best to action this decision sooner rather than later. We also did not feel that a large-scale online event would be particularly desirable in place of our usual face to face meeting.

We look forward to seeing many of you in San Francisco in Autumn 2022!  In case you have contacted us, to ask about the submission procedure, we hope we will hear from you again one year from now.

*Participants who previously submitted abstracts to the 2020 annual conference should have received a specific email regarding their submissions. If you did not receive an email, please email us at sacpweb@gmail.com.

We have also recently discussed that it would be logistically difficult to stick to the original schedule of elections for board members, and rather unfortunate for our current board to serve only in a period with no meetings. We therefore feel we should put back our current elections process by two years. This effectively means extending current board member’s terms by two years, corresponding to the two-year postponement between events. Unless there are any major objections from our members, we will therefore intend to go ahead with the next set of elections in 2022.

Email inquiries should be directed to sacpweb@gmail.com.

With all our best wishes for 2021.

The SACP Board

Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion

October 12, 2020 /

Greetings,

I hope that you are doing well in these challenging times. From the initial formation meeting of the SACP at the APA in Philadelphia, which I attended while still a Ph.D. student, and for the next 45 years, the SACP was a central part of my life. I regret that in the past 10 years, I have stepped back and not been active in the SACP, but my life has been and remains so full, and one can’t do everything. I’ve been delighted to see how a new generation in the Society has emerged and done such impressive dedicated work.

I attended the APA in Philadelphia in Jan. 2020 because my latest book was featured in one of those author-meets-critics. While there I was able to attend the SACP session, and I was surprised to observe how about 4 of the 5 speakers were recent authors in the Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion. That is why I’m writing.

I’ve had the editors at Lexington prepare the attached flyer and information. You’ll recognize many of the authors. Please feel free to share the attached material with friends and colleagues. This has been a series of very high quality and an excellent opportunity, especially for young scholars.

Thanks for your assistance and all the best for your future and the future of the SACP, now more relevant and necessary than ever.

CFP: SACP at APA Eastern

June 5, 2020 /

Call for Papers and Abstracts:  SACP at Eastern APA (New York, January 4 – 7, 2021)

Submission deadline:  June 15, 2020

 

We welcome scholars to submit proposals for either complete panels or individual papers.

Guidelines for paper/abstract submission:

For individual papers, please submit a 250 word abstract, with or without a completed paper attached.  If only an abstract is submitted, a complete version of the paper is required at least 30 days before the meeting to provide the session chair and panelists with enough time to prepare for their session.  Completed papers should be written in English and not exceed 4000 words.  The presentation time for each paper will be approximately 20-25 minutes (this is about 10-12 pages of TNR 12pt double-spaced text, FYI). For panel proposals, please submit a panel proposal (250 words) explaining how the papers of the panel fit together, and individual paper abstracts (250 words). Panel proposals may also include suggestions for a panel chair, although this is not required. Please include your full name, academic affiliation, and email in your proposal.

Please let us know if you are simultaneously submitting a separate proposal to other Asian philosophy groups for the same APA meeting.

Membership of the SACP is not required for consideration or acceptance, but we ask that you be a current SACP member by the time we submit the session information to the APA.

 

Send your proposal, and any questions you may have, to:

Sarah Mattice
s.mattice@unf.edu
SACP Eastern APA Panel Chair

A note from APA regarding Meeting 2021:

Note: Currently, all three APA divisions are planning to hold in-person meetings in 2021. At the same time, we are also considering alternative formats, such as virtual meetings, as contingencies in the case that our usual meeting format becomes impossible. Though external forces like the ongoing pandemic affect and inform our plans, your participation is the most critical input for planning any meeting. If you are considering submitting a session request, we encourage you to do so.
