The ISCP plans to hold an invited Related Scholarly Organization (RSO) session at the 2025 meeting of the American Academy of Religion (AAR), to take place Nov 22-25 in Boston, MA. Submission of abstracts (250-300 words) for individual papers for consideration are welcomed. Presentation time will be limited to 20 minutes to allow for discussion. All themes related to Chinese philosophy are welcome. However, accepted abstracts that closely align with the AAR conference’s major themes, such as philosophy of religion, religious studies, theology, and spirituality, may attract a broader audience. Due to limited slots, ISCP members will be given priority consideration. Please read below for submission procedures.

Submission guidelines:
Please note that participants in RSO sessions are required to register for the AAR
meeting through the ISCP website.
