Entry is now closed. The next round of the Paper Drafts Exchange will open in December. I will be closing entry for the initial round of ancient philosophy paper drafts exchange on Wednesday. If you are interested, please fill out the following form, which asks for some basic information about the draft you are interested in sharing. I will then divide people into groups based on topic and area, contacting participants via email. The grouping will be done on a reciprocal basis: if you commit to commenting on 2 papers, you will get 2 people assigned to comment on your papers. I will help everyone set up sessions on philpeople or…

New CFPs Calendar
In response to last week’s poll, I have created a new CFPs calendar. It includes only calls for papers (CFPs), calls for abstracts (CFAs), and other application deadlines for ancient Greek and Roman philosophy events. For a full listing of all the lectures, conferences, symposia, etc. you can continue to use the Ancient Philosophy Calendar.

Separation Referendum: Should CFPs Be Divorced from Events?
This site maintains a listing of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy events from around the world. Right now, this calendar includes both call for papers/abstracts and various talks and conferences. I would like to get feedback on whether the community would appreciate having a separate calendar that only included call for papers and calls for abstracts (i.e. it would only inform you about events you could apply to participate in). Let me know what you think by voting in this poll! Feel free to comment below or email as well.

Ancient Philosophy Journals (Updated)
Slow referees and unresponsive editors are extremely painful, as most of us know. You also want to make sure the length and topic of your paper fits the journal.

To help, I have compiled a list of journals that publish articles on Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, along with their official policies (languages of publication, word count etc.) and whatever information was available about their acceptance rates, reviews times, time to publication and other relevant features. Some journals make this information publicly available (e.g. Journal…

Ancient Philosophy Paper Drafts Exchange
It is hard for many of us to get helpful feedback on works in progress. This is an area where I think the ancient philosophy community can make more effective use of technology. Philpeople, the new social initiative for philosophers from the non-profit Philpapers Foundation, has a sessions feature, which allows you to post drafts and get comments from those who are invited to participate. I think this is a promising tool for getting and sharing feedback. I am organizing an ancient philosophy paper drafts exchange based on it. If you are interested, please fill out the following form, which asks for some basic information about the draft you are interested in…

Salvete!
This is a new blog featuring information, news, and resources for Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy, edited by Caleb Cohoe. It hosts the ancient philosophy events calendar I have been maintaining and also provides ancient philosophy journal information. I also plan to feature interviews with scholars in the field and discussions on future directions in ancient philosophy. Comments and suggestions for content are welcome!
