CALL FOR PAPERS
EIGHTH ANNUAL
MIDWEST CONFERENCE ON CHINESE THOUGHT
APRIL 13-15, 2012
INDIANA UNIVERSITY
BLOOMINGTON
KEYNOTE ADDRESS: STEPHEN ANGLE, WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
The Midwest Conference on Chinese Thought was created to foster dialogue and interaction between scholars and students working on Chinese thought across different disciplines and through a variety of approaches. Submissions are invited for papers on any aspect of Chinese thought, as well as papers dealing with comparative issues that engage Chinese perspectives. Possible themes for submissions include: examining how recovered texts reframe familiar issues and debates in early Chinese thought; texts, movements, and figures from neglected eras and traditions; and the current renaissance of philosophy and religious studies in China.
Participants from any geographic area are welcome. For inquiries about the conference, please contact Cheryl Cottine (ccottine@indiana.edu) or Aaron Stalnaker (astalnak@indiana.edu).
Please submit abstracts (1-2 pages) by January 6, 2012.
To facilitate blind proposal review, please email your abstract to: ccottine@indiana.edu
This conference is supported by the departments of Philosophy, Religious Studies, East Asian Languages and Cultures, and Political Science; the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs; the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis; and the East Asian Studies Center.
Every year this is my favourite conference. Great to see Steve’ll be there this year!
