The Twenty-ninth Annual Meeting of the Rocky Mountain Division of the American Society for Aesthetics will take place at the Hotel Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico, July 13-15.
Keynote Address: Cynthia Freeland
Artist at Work: McCreery Jordan
We welcome critical papers in all fields and disciplines pertaining to the history, application, and appreciation of aesthetic understanding. We are always particularly interested in research involving interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches emphasizing the natural character of the American Southwest.
The ASARMD Division’s long-standing practice has been to accept proposals, so we will continue to do that, however we prefer full submissions. Papers should be suitable for 20-minute presentations and not exceed 3000 words (excluding footnotes). Proposals should be no more than 250 words in length and follow the format of a typical abstract, which is to say, offer a formal, albeit succinct, summary of the work to be presented, including conclusion(s) to be drawn.
Papers and proposals should be formatted as .doc or as .rtf and sent as an attachment to the email. Please make sure that your identification and contact information appears at the top of your attached document itself. Submissions are not read blind. Your current email address will be the means of notification on acceptance.
If you are interested in organizing an entire panel of three or four papers for the conference, please query the officers for information about how to put together a panel proposal. New for this season is a request for offers to present response papers: those so interested should indicate clearly areas of scholarship with which they would desire to engage.
Kindly send papers, proposals, and offers to respond or organize panels to ASARMD2012@gmail.com
Our submission deadline is February 29 has been extended to March 31, 2012.
Please note: we are accepting email submissions only.
