ACPA Deadline Extended

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to extend the deadline for our CFP for APA Eastern 2016 to May 8. As we mentioned before, – and I’d like to clarify further – though the main theme of the celebration is about methodologies for Chinese and comparative philosophy, we basically welcome papers that deal with any aspects of Chinese and comparative philosophy in general. If you’d like to submit for the DAO special issue for this event, I suppose you will need to clarify the methodology of your study. For the purpose of the ACPA panel, however, this is not an imperative as long as there is a reasonable methodology underlying your research.
Thanks for your attention and all the best,
Huaiyu
