AMERICAN PHILOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE ON CLASSICAL TRADITION AND RECEPTION2015 ANNUAL MEETING: CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS
The Committee on Classical Tradition and Reception (COCTR) of the American Philological Association invites proposals for a panel to be held under the Committee’s sponsorship at the 146th Annual Meeting of the APA (New Orleans, January 8-11, 2015).
Submissions, which should not exceed 500 words in length, should include:
(a) the title of the proposed panel;
(b) a general outline of the proposed topic, with a reasoned justification of its significance in the context of contemporary work in the field of classical tradition/reception studies.
Proposers of panels should bear in mind that a panel will comprise either four 20-minute papers in a two-hour session, or four 20-minute papers plus short introduction and response in a two-and-a-half-hour session. Proposals need not indicate the names of envisaged participants in the panel; indeed, the Committee anticipates that the process following selection of the panel topic will include a call for papers.
Panel proposals should be sent via e-mail attachment (in Word format) to David Scourfield, Chair of the Committee on Classical Tradition and Reception (david.scourfield AT nuim.ie), by no later than November 15, 2013. All submissions will be subject to double-blind review by two referees, whose reports will inform the Committee’s decision.
It should be noted that selection and sponsorship of a panel topic by the Committee does not in itself guarantee final acceptance of the panel by the APA Program Committee.
It should be noted further that the organizer of any panel selected by the Committee will have to be a fully paid-up member of the APA for 2014.
