In keeping with the Association’s mission, program proposals from scholars across a variety of disciplines, such as psychology, philosophy, education, sociology, cultural studies, and ethics, are encouraged.
   Although some plenary sessions will be organized around the general theme, individual proposals do not have to be related to that theme.

   To be considered, proposals must be received by April 15, 2001. All proposals should be e-mailed to the program committee (using ClarisWorks, Microsoft Word or RTF format) at the following e-mail address:
