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 American Philological Association. 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 two APAs should include their name and address directly below the title of the paper on a separate title page, and nowhere else; that allows for anonymous review by the Program Committee. Submitters should also include a cover indicating the meeting(s) of the Society at which they would like, or be willing, to present the paper. We very much prefer electronic submissions; make the email message itself the “cover page”, and attach the paper. We prefer attachments in Word (“.doc”) or “Rich Text Format” (“.RTF”); if you have some other program that you want to use, please contact apreus@binghamton.edu first. A word to the wise – electronic transmission tends to garble Greek (because not all the reviewers have the same Greek fonts installed), so please transliterate. 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. If you must submit in paper copy, we require 7 copies of the paper.
DEADLINES
- February 1 – for Eastern Division meeting following December and/or the American Philological Association meeting the following January.

Preus), ex officio; John Anton, Elizabeth Asmis, Fred Miller, Mark Wheeler, and Thomas M. Robinson.
