Call for Proposals for Mini-Conferences
The
Pacific Division Executive Committee invites APA members to organize
small conferences in conjunction with the annual meetings in 2008 and
2009. The APA Pacific Division will provide a venue and can also provide
some support for such conferences.*
The purpose of this new program is to give members opportunities for collective exploration of important philosophical topics in more depth than is offered by the usual meeting schedule.
Members are invited to submit proposals. Proposals received by March 1, 2007**, will be considered by the Pacific Division Executive Committee at its meeting in April 2007. The proposal should describe the topic of the conference and explain its timeliness and importance, and its potential audience; identify prospective speakers; and specify what support will be needed to hold the conference, and what contribution (in addition to meeting space) the Pacific Division is asked to make. Conference organizing committees should include at least one member of the Pacific Division.
Please contact Secretary-Treasurer Anita Silvers (asilvers@sfsu.edu) if you would like more information. Proposals should be sent by email and should be submitted by March 1, 2007, to be considered by the Executive Committee at its April 2007 meeting.
