CFP: 2013 American Society for Aesthetics Annual Meeting

Papers on any topic in aesthetics and/or the philosophy of art are invited, as well as proposals for panels, author-meets-critics sessions, or other special sessions. We welcome volunteers to serve as session chairs and commentators. All participants must be members of the American Society for Aesthetics and must register for the conference. Papers should not exceed 3,000 words, should be accompanied by a 100-word abstract, and must be prepared for blind review. Panel proposals/author-meets-critics sessions and other special sessions should include a general description of the topic or theme, along with the names and affiliations of all proposed participants and brief abstracts of all papers. It is ASA policy that a paper cannot be presented at a regional meeting and the Annual meeting. You may either submit a paper or be a member of a proposed panel, not both.  Full time students who are on the program at the annual meeting (presenting or commenting) are eligible for a travel stipend. (Further information about travel stipends will be made available on the ASA website.)

Please send your submissions in PDF, Word, or RTF format to Aaron Meskin at [email protected].  Any paper not prepared for blind review will not be considered.

Please feel free to direct questions to the Program Chair: Aaron Meskin (University of Leeds) at [email protected]

Submission deadline: February 15, 2013.
