CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ancient Philosophy Society was established to provide a forum for diverse scholarship on ancient Greek and Roman texts.

THEME: Although papers on all topics relating to the continental interpretation of ancient philosophy are welcome, this year’s conference organizers are especially interested in assembling one or two panels relating to the themes of xeniaor ‘hospitality’ and the xenos or the ‘foreigner, stranger,’therebybringing the ancients into the urgent contemporary conversation about social/political issues such as immigration, national identities, and border policy.
Submissions cannot exceed 3000 words in length (not including notes) and must be prepared for blind review.
Send to: APS2020@depaul.edu
The conference hosts at DePaul University this year are Michael Naas, Sean D. Kirkland, and William McNeill.

Call for papers – Symposium Platonicum XII
Plato’s Parmenides
Paris, July 15th-20th 2019
The International Plato Society organizes a symposium on a single Platonic dialogue every three years. We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the XII Symposium Platonicum: Plato’s Parmenides.
The Symposium will take place July 15–20, 2019, in Paris. Although the dialogue has been the object of intense scholarly scrutiny, many issues remain to be explored. Submissions on any aspect of the dialogue, including its presocratic sources as well as later reception, will be considered. We also would like to encourage papers that address issues in the dialogue’s second half since it has received relatively less attention.
We welcome abstracts from all IPS members, full and associate. If you are not yet a member of the International Plato Society, criteria for membership and information about joining are available at: https://platosociety.org/
membership/. If you intend to submit an abstract, please make sure that your IPS dues are paid for 2016–19 at least one week before making your submission.

Length
Papers should be suitable for 20-minute presentations, but authors may be asked to expand their papers to be presented at one of the 40-minute plenary sessions.
Your abstract should be 800–1200 words and you must submit versions in any two of the Society’s five official languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, or German).
To ensure blind-review by the IPS Executive Committee please remove any identifying information from the abstract and the file properties. Any queries about the abstract should be sent to symposiumplatonicum12@
gmail.com. Deadline
