CFP: Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Session

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. Those 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 2012/13, you should submit your dues along with your paper.

Deadline: August 1

Submitters of papers for the meetings with the two APAs should include their name and address directly below the title of the paper on a separate title page, and nowhere else; that allows for anonymous review by the Program Committee. Submitters should also include a cover message indicating the meeting(s) of the Society at which they would like, or be willing, to present the paper. We very much prefer electronic submissions; make the email message itself the “cover page”, and attach the paper. 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 (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 meeting with the Pacific Division is August 1: we need to have the papers by then to have time for blind review by the Program Committee.

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.
