Call for Proposals

The 55^th annual Conference of the Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy will be held at the University of San Francisco November 9-11, 2023.

We invite individual and panel proposals on any topic. The SACP board especially welcomes engagement with diverse philosophical approaches and traditions. Those who wish to participate are encouraged to submit proposals that correspond to their areas of interest so long as they engage in some way with Asian and/or Comparative philosophies.

Submissions: Paper and panel proposals can be submitted via this Google Form or by email to SACPcontact@gmail.com. For email submissions, include all requested information in an attachment with a filename that includes the presenter’s last name and “SACP 2023” – for example, “Henkel—SACP 2023”.

Individual proposals should include: (1) title; (2) abstract of 200-300 words; (3) presenter’s name, institutional affiliation, and email address.

Panel proposals should include: (1) title; (2) 200-300 word description of the panel; (3) title and abstract of each paper; (4) name, institutional affiliation, and email address of each participant.

The deadline for submission is April 7, 2023. Notice of acceptance of proposals will be emailed by May 19, with instructions for how to register and submit the conference registration fee. Further details of the conference will appear on the SACP conference website.

Graduate Student Essay Contest Awards: To encourage student participation, the SACP awards prizes for the top three papers presented by graduate students: US$1,000 for first prize, $US750 for second prize, and US$500 for third prize. Students must attend the conference to be eligible for the Essay Contest Awards.

Those who wish their papers to be considered for a graduate student award must submit an abstract and a complete essay of no more than 4,000 words to Jeremy Henkel, SACP Secretary, at SACPcontact@gmail.com by April 7, 2023.

Format: As the meeting will be in-person, presenters are expected to attend and present on-site. The committee organizers will consider allowing remote presentations when exceptional circumstances justify the change and where adjustments can reasonably be made.

More Information: Additional queries about any aspect of the conference can be directed to SACPcontact@gmail.com.

Last chance! The abstracts are coming in fast and furious for the 2023 Inaugural Annual Conference, but we’d still like to encourage our colleagues studying contemplative topics, especially those in the humanities, social sciences and education, to get your presentation proposals in to ensure a well-rounded program.

Hence, we’re extending one last time… until Sept 26th. Don’t miss out on your chance to contribute to this historic, inaugural, interdisciplinary conference of the ISCR in beautiful San Diego!
