The ASA Pacific meeting for 2021 will be held virtually on Zoom March 19-20, 2021. Due to the continuing challenges of COVID, the meeting will not be held at the Berkeley City Club, as originally planned. The 2022 meeting has been scheduled for the BCC March 18-19, 2022.

The deadline for submissions has been extended to January 15, 2021.

The Division invites paper and panel submissions on any topic in aesthetics, broadly construed. Submissions from traditionally underrepresented groups (including women, racial minorities, and persons with disabilities, among others) are encouraged. If your paper or panel submission is accepted, you must become a member of the ASA and register for the conference. You may submit a paper or be a member of a proposed panel, but not both. If you would like to volunteer to serve as a session chair and/or as a commentator, please fill out and submit this form.

Accepted papers will be presented and discussed in pre-read workshop format. All participants will commit to pre-read all accepted papers. (We do not run concurrent sessions, and the number of accepted papers will be manageable for pre-reading.) The author will have three to five minutes to introduce the paper, followed by a ten-minute presentation by the commentator, with the remaining session time allotted for question and answer. This format will be strictly followed to facilitate in-depth discussion. Paper submissions must not exceed 3,000 words in length and must be accompanied by 200 to 300-word abstracts. Submissions should be anonymized for review.

Proposals for panels, author-meets-critics sessions, and other special sessions should include a brief description of the topic or theme, the names and affiliations of all proposed participants, and long abstracts of all papers (400 to 500-word each). These sessions will last an hour and a half with at least half-hour reserved for question and answer and they will not be part of the pre-read sessions.

Please send submissions in PDF, Word, or RTF format to asapacific2021@gmail.com. Please email the conference organizers, E. Hande Tuna & Gemma Argüello, at this address if you have any questions or would like to volunteer to comment on a paper or to chair a session.
       

ASA Policies: Papers presented at ASA Divisional meetings may not be presented at the ASA Annual Meeting. Everyone on an ASA program must be a member of ASA. Submissions from non-members are welcome, but if you are accepted for the program, you must join ASA within 30 days or be replaced on the program. Everyone must also register for the meeting. This applies to presenters, panelists, commentators, and chairs.
