ASA Eastern Announces CFP for 2022 Meeting

The ASA Eastern Division announces the Call for Papers for the 2022 Meeting in Philadelphia, April 22-23.

Papers on any topic in aesthetics or the philosophy of art are invited. Volunteers are also welcome to serve as session chairs and commentators. The submission deadline is December 1, 2021.

Submissions on the themes, The Arts and the Pandemic, or Social Justice and the Arts, are especially encouraged, as are submissions from writers who self-identify with traditionally underrepresented groups.

Please note that all program participants must be members of the ASA. Submissions from non-members are welcome. However, all participants must become members of the ASA within 30 days of their paper’s acceptance or of their acceptance of being a commentator or chair. Anyone who is not a member within 30 days of acceptance will be replaced on the program. All participants must register for the conference. This applies to presenters, panelists, commentators, and chairs.

Papers should not exceed 3,000 words, must be accompanied by a 150-word abstract, and must be prepared for anonymous review. All submissions must be in PDF or Word Files. You may only present one paper at this conference. A paper cannot be presented at both a regional meeting of the ASA and the Annual Meeting. Submissions not meeting the requirements will not be considered. All papers will be reviewed anonymously, with final decisions by the Program Co-Chairs and the Program Committee.

The Program will include the annual Beardsley Lecture sponsored by the Department of Philosophy at Temple University.

$1000 (total) will be available for Irene H. Chayes Travel grants from the ASA for paper presenters with no institutional access to travel funds. To apply, notify the Co-Chairs that you wish to be considered, and estimate your travel costs. Do not include this in your paper.

ASA Policies on Discrimination, Harassment, and Respectful Behavior will be in effect for this meeting. The ASA Ombudsperson will be present throughout the meeting.
