SAGP at Central and Pacific Divisions of the American Philosophical Association 2019

The Deadline for submission of papers for the SAGP panels at the Central and Pacific Division meetings of the APA is coming up soon: SEPTEMBER 1. Papers on any topic in Ancient Greek Philosophy, from the 6th century BCE to the 6th century CE, may be considered.

The 2019 Central Division Meeting will be 2/20/19 – 2/23/19 in Denver (Westin Downtown).

The 2019 Pacific Division Meeting will be 4/17/19 - 4/20/19 in Vancouver (Westin Bayshore).

In order to have the papers blind-reviewed by our committee, and get the program to the organizers in time, we need them by September 1. In order to have your paper reviewed by the Program Committee you need to be a current member of SAGP. You can emailapreus@binghamton.edu to check on your membership status if you don’t know. Note that if you are paying by credit card you need to send the form through snail mail, NOT as an attachment to email. The people I work with at Binghamton University regard email attachments as totally unsafe. If you want to pay by credit card, print the attached form and mail it! Or mail a check, even better.

SAGP Speaker Policy

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 Society for Classical Studies. 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 apreus@binghamton.edu. Membership in SAGP is required for consideration of papers by the SAGP program committees.

Submitters of papers for the meetings with the APA or SCS should make their email message the “cover letter” of their submission, including their name, address, academic affiliation, and the title of the paper. Include in the email message the meeting or meetings of the Society at which they would like, or be willing, to present the paper. Attach the paper, prepared for blind (anonymous) review, in “.doc”, “.docx”, or “rtf” – NOT PDF! The paper may include “real Greek” if it is in a Unicode font. The Program Committee has decided that papers submitted by authors who have had a paper accepted by the Society for presentation at a meeting of the American Philosophical Association or the Society for Classical Studies during the past year should not be considered. 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. Address any questions about this process to apreus@binghamton.edu.

Submitters should expect a response about six weeks after each of the deadline dates. 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.
