CFP: Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy (Pacific APA 2014: San Diego)

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy sponsors sessions with the annual meetings of the Eastern, Central, and Pacific Divisions of the American Philosophical Association, and the annual meeting of the American Philological Association. There is also an annual meeting with the Society for the Study of Islamic Philosophy and Science and other groups. Occasionally the SAGP meets with various other societies.

Persons wishing to present a paper at any meeting of the SAGP are requested to contact [email protected]. Membership in SAGP is required for consideration of papers by the SAGP program committees. If you are not a member for 2013/14, you should submit your dues along with your paper; email [email protected] for a form.

Submitters of papers for the meetings with the two APAs should include their name and address, including academic affiliation, in their email cover note, and nowhere on the paper itself; that allows for anonymous review by the Program Committee. The email cover note should also state which meeting or meetings the submitter would like, or be willing, to present the paper. Please submit electronically. We prefer attachments in Word (“.doc” or “docx”) or “Rich Text Format” (“.RTF”); if you have some other program that you want to use, please contact [email protected] first. A word to the wise – electronic transmission tends to garble Greek for some readers (because not all the reviewers have the same Greek fonts installed), so please transliterate. The  Program Committee has requested that submissions be limited to 3000 words MAX, and suggests that submissions less than 1000 words are too short to be evaluated effectively. Accepted papers may be revised up to a max of 5000 words for distribution, and real Greek is possible in the distributed version.

Again, the deadline for submissions for the SAGP meetings with the Central and Pacific Divisions is SEPTEMBER 1: we need to have the papers by then to have time for blind review by the Program Committee. This year September 1 is the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. I am very likely to send the papers out to the reviewers early in the morning of Labor Day, so get your paper in on time!

The members of the Program Committee are: the President (Richard McKirahan) and Secretary (A. Preus), ex officio; Deborah Modrak, Elizabeth Asmis, Fred Miller, Mark Wheeler, and Thomas M. Robinson.
