Conference
Theme
The conference theme,
“Conflict and Harmony: From Embodied Emotions to Global
Realms,” is designed to invite scholars representing Asian
traditions of thought to present their research on the many
ways in which philosophers of these heritages thematise the
dynamics of conflict and harmony.
Relevant topics could span a broad range of problematics,
from the internal conflicts of desires and ideas, emotions
and reason, body and mind, and how to resolve these in
practice to social, political and global conflicts and
strategies for their resolution.
The theme will also accommodate discussions of the
continuing conflicts or historical development from
conflicts to reconciliation between different schools of
thought and philosophies in different traditions or between
traditions.
The theme is intended to increase engagement amongst
participants. However, the conference will consider
abstracts and presentations on various topics that
correspond to members’ areas of interest as
well.
Extension of Deadline
for Abstracts and Proposals: The deadline for submission of
abstracts and proposals has now been extended to:
15 Mar
2013
Presentation and panel
proposal abstracts should be sent electronically to BOTH
Mary Bockover (Mary.Bockover@humboldt.edu)
and Michael Barnhart (Michael.Barnhart@kbcc.cuny.edu),
AND cc'd to Roger Ames (rtames@hawaii.edu).
Abstracts for individual papers should be between 200-300
words, including a title.
Panel proposals should include the title and a brief
description of the panel, names and affiliation of
panelists and titles of each participant's presentation,
with the same word-limit as above.
The deadline for abstract submission is 15 February 2013, a
deadline that pertains to proposals submitted by faculty
members and graduate students alike.
Notice of acceptance of proposals will be sent to your
e-mail address sometime in the beginning of March. In order
to minimise the difficulty of dealing with late
cancellations, payment of the registration fee for the
joint meeting is required within 2 weeks after acceptance
notices have been received, in any case no later than 1
April 2013.
Graduate Student Essay
Contest Awards
To encourage student
participation, the SACP and ASACP have set up Graduate
Student Essay Contest Awards for the 2013 conference
Student Essay Contest Prizes are:
First prize: $1,000
Second prize: $750
Third prize: $500
The awards will be applied to the travel and accommodation
expenses for those attending the 2013 Joint Meeting of the
SACP and ASACP, so award winners should bring their travel
receipts with them.
In order to have their essays considered for the prize,
graduate students should submit a complete essay of no more
than 10 pages (or 4,000 words) to BOTH Mary Bockover and
Michael Barnhart, AND cc-ed to Roger Ames, by 15 March
2013.
Note once again that the deadline for the final complete
essay is separate from the deadline for the paper abstract,
as the latter must be received by the general deadline of
15 Mar 2013, in order to be considered for acceptance to
the conference.
