CFP for Quick-Fire Presentations at the ASA Annual Meeting

The Program Committee for the 81^st Annual Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetics, November 15-18, 2023 in Arlington, VA announces a Call for Submissions for Quick-Fire Presentations on Saturday afternoon at the meeting.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 30, 2023

The ASA welcomes submissions of abstracts on all aspects of aesthetics and the philosophy of art for an experimental quick-fire philosophy session. The session is intended to provide a fun and fast-paced opportunity for speakers to give an extended ‘elevator pitch’ of a particularly wild or ambitious thesis that has a little something going for it after all.

Format

The session will take place on Saturday afternoon, November 18 and feature a series of five minute presentations followed by up to ten minutes of Q&A. It will last two hours. For further guidance on giving a Quick-Fire presentation, see: https://www.acsmeetings.org/submit/rapidfire/.

Conditions of Acceptance

• Membership: Non-members may submit abstracts, but must join the ASA within thirty days of acceptance of their contribution to avoid removal from the program. All participants must be ASA members and register for the meeting.
• Duplication: Papers presented at this or previous ASA annual, division, or ASA/BSA Virtual Summer Festival meetings are not eligible.
• One-appearance rule: Quick-fire presentations are exempt from our usual one-appearance rule, but preference will be given to persons not otherwise on the program.
• Attendance: All presenters must be able to attend in person.
• Travel funding: Sorry, but no travel funding is available for these presentations.
