Call for Papers – SAGP at Central and Pacific APA

Greetings all. We need to have submissions for the meeting of the SAGP with the Central Division by AUGUST 1. (Our deadline to the Central folks is September 15: The meeting is Feb 17-20, 2010, at the Palmer House in Chicago.)

The deadline for the SAGP at the Pacific Division is September 1st. The meeting will be held March 31st-April 4th, 2010 at the Westin St Francis, San Francisco.

Please click the link to read about the necessary details on submission of papers…

The best way to submit a paper is as an attachment in Word (“.doc”) or Rich Text Format (“.rtf”) send to apreus@binghamton.edu. The attachment should be prepared for blind review. In the email message to which it is attached please include your name, academic affiliation, and preferred postal address. Please submit only one paper (there will other opportunities). Do not send your paper in PDF, because I won’t be able to edit and reformat to ensure blind review. Consequently your Greek (if any) should be transliterated in this submission. (The problem about Greek is that not all the reviewers have the same sort of Greek on their computers, so it may come out rather garbled on their screens.) If your paper is accepted you can send me a version with real Greek in it in December.

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. (We are still distributing some copies in hard copy, and long papers get expensive both in terms of printing and in terms of postage.)

The members of the Program Committee who do blind review of the submissions are: the President, Deborah Modrak; John Anton, Elizabeth Asmis, Fred Miller, Mark Wheeler, and Thomas M. Robinson.

To have your paper considered for presentation at a meeting of the Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy you must be a member of the Society. Joining is easy, and not expensive:

Dues are $10 US per year, $20 US for “hard copy” distribution. Make sure that you include your preferred email address, for electronic distribution, or your preferred postal address, for hard copy distribution.
