Atlanta Murders

March 22, 2021 /

We join with many others in expressing our grief and anger at the recent murders of eight people, including six Asian/Asian American women, in Atlanta. We express our support and concern for our Asian/Asian American colleagues, and encourage everyone to take a stand against the increasing incidents of violence against Asians and Asian Americans that has occurred in recent years in the US. On behalf of the SACP, we have joined with other organizations in supporting a fuller statement of concerns issued by A Community-Centered Response to Violence Against Asian American Communities — Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta (https://www.advancingjustice-atlanta.org/aaajcommunitystatement). In addition, there are many resources for learning about how issues of gender and race intersect; here is one starting point: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/18/us/racism-sexism-atlanta-spa-shooting.html

Sincerely,

The SACP Board

SACP Annual Conference re-scheduled for 2022 in San Francisco

January 31, 2021 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

We hope this email finds you all well. Amid the complex travel circumstances this year we have decided to postpone our next meeting until Autumn 2022. Although we would love to continue as planned, we feel it would be best to action this decision sooner rather than later. We also did not feel that a large-scale online event would be particularly desirable in place of our usual face to face meeting.

We look forward to seeing many of you in San Francisco in Autumn 2022!  In case you have contacted us, to ask about the submission procedure, we hope we will hear from you again one year from now.

*Participants who previously submitted abstracts to the 2020 annual conference should have received a specific email regarding their submissions. If you did not receive an email, please email us at sacpweb@gmail.com.

We have also recently discussed that it would be logistically difficult to stick to the original schedule of elections for board members, and rather unfortunate for our current board to serve only in a period with no meetings. We therefore feel we should put back our current elections process by two years. This effectively means extending current board member’s terms by two years, corresponding to the two-year postponement between events. Unless there are any major objections from our members, we will therefore intend to go ahead with the next set of elections in 2022.

Email inquiries should be directed to sacpweb@gmail.com.

With all our best wishes for 2021.

The SACP Board

Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion

October 12, 2020 /

Greetings,

I hope that you are doing well in these challenging times. From the initial formation meeting of the SACP at the APA in Philadelphia, which I attended while still a Ph.D. student, and for the next 45 years, the SACP was a central part of my life. I regret that in the past 10 years, I have stepped back and not been active in the SACP, but my life has been and remains so full, and one can’t do everything. I’ve been delighted to see how a new generation in the Society has emerged and done such impressive dedicated work.

I attended the APA in Philadelphia in Jan. 2020 because my latest book was featured in one of those author-meets-critics. While there I was able to attend the SACP session, and I was surprised to observe how about 4 of the 5 speakers were recent authors in the Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion. That is why I’m writing.

I’ve had the editors at Lexington prepare the attached flyer and information. You’ll recognize many of the authors. Please feel free to share the attached material with friends and colleagues. This has been a series of very high quality and an excellent opportunity, especially for young scholars.

Thanks for your assistance and all the best for your future and the future of the SACP, now more relevant and necessary than ever.
