Hi,

I've sent out two calls for papers recently, both to be held at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion (November 18-22, 2016, San Antonio, TX). Please check the SACP official website for the detail. But just in case, I would like to send you the notice via the traditional e-mail venue, so that you know that the calls are out there.

SACP Call for Papers

2016 AAR Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX

November 19-22, 2016

Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy is affiliated with the AAR as the "Related Scholarly Organization," and we are invited to offer panels at the annual meeting.

Traditionally, the SACP has offered two panels at each annual meeting. I therefore invite you to submit your proposal for this year's AAR meeting.

*  *  *

Please submit your

paper proposal (an abstract of 250-300 words) or

panel proposal (with a 100 words description of each paper & the panel description in 250 words) to

Dr. Michiko Yusa (michiko.yusa@PROTECTED)

Deadline for the submission: May 14, 2016

Last year, the SACP offered a panel on the theme of "Integrating Intercultural Philosophy (and Theology) into Academic Curriculum" which was warmly received by the colleagues who came to the panel. We may continue to offer a similar topic as one of the two panels, if there is a strong interest among you. But certainly, we are not limited to this topic. Other important topics might include "conflict resolution," "prayer," "philosophy of peace," etc. I look forward to your proposal.

SACP Mini-Symposium on

Raimon Panikkar's Intercultural Thought

San Antonio, November 18, 2016

In addition to the two regular SACP panels, the SACP will host a mini-symposium on the intercultural thought of Raimon Panikkar at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion in San Antonio. This symposium is made possible by the private financial support. It will take place on November 18 (Friday), the day before the official beginning of the AAR annual meeting in order to avoid any scheduling conflict.  

Raimon Panikkar's thought covers a wide range of fields, from theology to philosophy, culminating in the praxis of dialogical dialogue aiming at facilitating our interreligious and intercultural communication and understanding. The purpose of the symposium is for scholars engaged in Panikkar's thought to probe the possibilities of further developing Panikkar's insight in our intercultural studies. The themes of this year's symposium are:

• Philosophical critique and development of Panikkar's interreligious intercultural philosophy
• Celebrating Panikkar's Life and Thought in conjunction with the publication of Ramon Panikkar; A Companion to his Life and Thought, ed., P. Phan & Y. Ro, (Cambridge: James Clarke, 2017).

Please submit your proposal of 200-300 words, to Dr. Michiko Yusa, at michiko.yusa@PROTECTED. The deadline for the submission is May 18, 2016 (Wednesday).

Best,

M. Yusa
