October 12, 2020 sacpweb.org Comments Off on Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion Greetings,I hope that you are doing well in these challenging times. From the initial formation meeting of the SACP at the APA in Philadelphia, which I attended while still a Ph.D. student, and for the next 45 years, the SACP was a central part of my life. I regret that in the past 10 years, I have stepped back and not been active in the SACP, but my life has been and remains so full, and one can t do everything. I ve been delighted to see how a new generation in the Society has emerged and done such impressive dedicated work.I attended the APA in Philadelphia in Jan. 2020 because my latest book was featured in one of those author-meets-critics. While there I was able to attend the SACP session, and I was surprised to observe how about 4 of the 5 speakers were recent authors in the Lexington Books Series on Studies in Comparative Philosophy and Religion. That is why I m writing.I ve had the editors at Lexington prepare the attached flyer and information. You ll recognize many of the authors. Please feel free to share the attached material with friends and colleagues. This has been a series of very high quality and an excellent opportunity, especially for young scholars.Thanks for your assistance and all the best for your future and the future of the SACP, now more relevant and necessary than ever.Doug AllenSCPR Flyer Greetings all,SACP Members may be interested in the following job posting at the University of Hong Kong:https://jobs.hku.hk/en/job/502112/tenuretrack-professorassociate-professorassistant-professor-in-chinese-philosophySincerely,The SACP BoardAPA Pacific Division, 2021Portland, OR (Hilton Portland), March 31-April 4, 2021The Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy invites submissions to be considered for inclusion in panels at the upcoming APA Pacific Division Meeting.
