2009 Banquet

2009 Banquet

Many thanks to all who attended, supported and participated in the 2009 Ancient Philosophy Society conference at Loyola College in Maryland.

Gary Scott and his wife Hilde were very generous hosts and we had a very productive and inspiring conference.

As we begin to turn our attention to our 10th Annual Conference to be held at Michigan State, April 22nd to the 25th, 2010, I thought it important to pause to reflect upon the wonderful community of scholars we have actively participating in the Society.

Once again this year, I found myself grateful for the spirit of dedicated philosophical dialogue and friendship that animated our gathering.

The Excutive Committee thanks all who participated this year and who continue to support the Society.  We look forward to our SPEP session on October 29th at the Marriot Key Bridge Hotel in Arlington, Virginia and then, of course, to our 10th Annual Independent Meeting at Michigan State.

At Saturday’s business meeting of the Ancient Philosophy Society, the Society elected Sean Kirkland, DePaul University, as the next co-director of the Society, joining current co-director, Martha Woodruff, Middlebury College, and replacing me, Christopher Long, The Pennsylvania State University, outgoing co-director of the Society.  I will remain on the executive committee, however, having been elected Treasurer. In this capacity I will continue to serve as webmaster of the APS blog here.

The Society also elected Rob Metcalf, University of Denver at Colorado, as the incoming at-large member of the Executive Committee, joining current at-large member of the Society, Sara Brill, Fairfield University.

Travel to the APS Conference

1 Comment

For those of you traveling by air to Baltimore for the 2009 APS conference, we would like to encourage you to use the light rail service from BWI to the Timonium Business Park stop which is a block from the Crowne Plaza Baltimore North-Hunt Valley hotel.

We understand that the ride on the light rail does not require a transfer and will take about an hour to an hour and 20 minutes from BWI to the Timonium Business Park. To take a cab from BWI would not take significantly less time.

To encourage this, we want to link here to:

Program Status

The program committee has completed its work and we are in the process of determining which of the many excellent papers we received will make it onto the program.  This year we are considering adding a few concurrent sessions so as to accommodate more papers.

We recognize that those of you who have submitted papers are waiting to hear about the status of your paper.  We ask for your patience as we consider how best to include as many papers as we can. We should have the program set and contact those on it within the next two weeks.
