UPDATE: SACP Annual Conference at San Francisco

July 12, 2022 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

This is a brief announcement about our next conference.

Two things to share here:

1. The conference is set to take place at the University of San Francisco in Fall 2023, tentatively on November 9-11, 2023. We hope to be able to confirm this by the end of November 2022. (The cause for this delay is that the process by which we reserve space on campus at USF has become more complicated than usual due to covid protocols.)

2. Given that so much time has passed since we decided upon our next annual conference theme (this decision was made in Bath, England, in Summer 2019), we have decided to keep the Call for Papers open. Please stay tuned for more details (again: hopefully by the end of November 2022).

*We will of course welcome submissions on the previously intended theme.

Thank you for your patience and understanding about these issues.

With best wishes,

The SACP Board

Call for Papers: SACP at AAR in Denver 2022

May 8, 2022 /

SACP Call for Papers
2022 AAR Annual Meeting, Denver, CO
November 19-22, 2022

The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy invites you to submit your paper proposal for the AAR Annual Meeting 2022.

The SACP will host at least one panel. The panel will be scheduled on Saturday (11/19) in the morning time slot, 11:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m.

Depending on the number of proposals, a second panel may be added in the evening on Saturday or Sunday (11/19 or 20), 7-8:30 p.m.

As for the topic of the paper proposal, any timely issue will be welcome. If you are proposing a technical paper steeped in one tradition, please approach it from an “intercultural” perspective, so that other thinkers from other traditions will find your topic accessible and engage in fruitful dialogue and exchanges. If we, as members of the SACP, manage to address the vital issues and concerns of the day, even if anchored in a single tradition but open to dialogue, our time and effort will be spent well.

If it is a panel proposal that you have in mind, please contact the individual members of your panel to submit their proposals each as an independent paper proposal to me. In this case, indicate that it is part of a panel, following your name. There is no blanket acceptance policy of the paper, even if it is part of a panel.

     The deadline for the submission of the proposal is June 15 (Wednesday), 2022.

Please submit your

Paper proposal (your name; academic institution; e-mail address; the title of the paper; abstract of 200-250 words)

SACP Announcements

December 14, 2021 /

Dear Members of the SACP,

I have a few important announcements, made on behalf of the Board of the SACP.

  1. In light of uncertainty about the direction of the pandemic, the 52nd annual meeting of the SACP will be postponed again until October 2023.
  2. Because this is the second postponement, we ask that anyone interested in presenting at the October 2023 meeting submit NEW abstracts by 1 February 2023, even if you wish to speak on the same topic for which you previously submitted an abstract.
  3. The 52nd annual meeting of the SACP will still be hosted by the University of San Francisco, on the theme of “One and Many,” with keynote speaker Hei-sook Kim (Ewha Womans University).
  4. My term as President ends this year (December 2021). As per the SACP bylaws, our current Vice President, Sarah Flavel, will automatically become President (1 January 2022).
  5. Finally, let us stress again that the president and other members of the SACP Board will NEVER ask you individually for money, gift cards, or credit card numbers. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of any personal email message or text, ask to speak to the person in question via phone or video chat to confirm their identity. (Read up on “phishing” if you are not already familiar with this con.)

Thank you to everyone for your help and support during my term as President!

Best wishes,

Bryan (on behalf of the Board)

 

ISCP Summer 2022

International Society for Chinese Philosophy Summer 2022 ISCP Shanghai International Conference

We all truly look forward to the Summer 2022 ISCP Shanghai International Conference (postponed from 2021 due to Covid-19) as opportunities to learn from one another and making personal connections. However, considering the ever-changing nature of the pandemic, the difficulty and safety of international travelling (visa, pre-boarding test, quarantine, flight availability and high cost associated with it, etc.), in consultation with the hosting university (East China Normal University), the board has approved holding the conference with a hybrid platform — virtual and in person concurrently. For participants within the Mainland China and scholars outside of China who can and would like to travel to Shanghai, they certainly can participate the conference in person. For those who prefer to participate virtually, they can do so.

The conference registration fee will be lowered because of this new hybrid format. For non-ISCP members, the conference registration fee will be US$50 (approx. RMB300￥); for ISCP members whose dues are paid up to date, it will be free. We encourage current members to renew their membership and interested colleagues to join ISCP to take advantage of this generous offer.

With this new hybrid platform, we also hope more scholars will consider submitting individual abstract or panel proposals for the conference. The submission deadline is DECEMBER 31, 2021.

General timeline remains the same:
Deadline for submission of abstracts and panel proposals: December 31, 2021
Conference Registration: January 1- May 1, 2022
Communication of acceptance: by February 1, 2022

With warmest regards,

Ann A. Pang-White
Executive Director of ISCP
