We are open to submissions that engage with Chinese philosophy in a wide variety of ways and we are not specifying a theme for the group sessions prior to receiving proposals.

In addition to the quality of submission, the selection of papers for presentation will be based on how well they can be worked into a good session.Info on the Association of Chinese Philosophers in North America (ACPA) is available here: http://chinesephilosophersacpa.weebly.com
