The ACPA (i.e., Association of Chinese Philosophers in America) is a non-profit, academic organization in philosophy and the humanities that serves to promote scholarly work in and on Chinese philosophy by people anywhere in the world and the philosophical activities of Chinese academics living and working in North America.
The ACPA officers (for 2018 and 2019) are:
PRESIDENT: Bongrae Seok, Ph.D. (Associate Professor of Philosophy at Alvernia University)
I have interdisciplinary and comparative research interest in moral psychology, neuroscience and Chinese (Confucian) philosophy. I have been presenting and publishing my papers and books on philosophy of mind, moral psychology, and Confucian philosophy for many years. I hope to bring more ideas and energy to ACPA and work cooperatively with other officers to serve ACPA for its continuing effort to bring Chinese philosophy, not just as a cultural and social tradition but also as a rigorous intellectual tradition to academia and the general public.
VICE PRESIDENT: Suk Choi, Ph.D. (Associate Professor of Philosophy at Towson University)
My primary research interests lie in East Asian philosophy, especially Neo-Confucianism in China and Korea, comparative philosophy, and (both Asian and Western) aesthetics. In my attempt to maintain the organization that the current board and their predecessors have well systemized, I will more actively listen to, collect, and consider any diverse concerns and suggestions that ACPA members present.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: Jing Hu (Postdoctoral Fellow, Institute for the Study of Human Flourishing, University of Oklahoma)
My primary research interests are moral psychology and Chinese philosophy. ACPA, which aims at promoting the engagement of the Chinese philosophy society within the broader philosophical community, has provided me and scholars like me a platform for presenting and receiving feedback for our work. I presented my work at several ACPA panels and I always received helpful comments at these events. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to connect with other scholars in the field of Chinese philosophy and to keep track of their interesting work. My positive experience with ACPA has convinced me to serve ACPA and to promote the dialogue between Chinese philosophy and other fields of philosophy. In addition to the book-keeping duties of the treasurer, I will work to engage young scholars in the field of Chinese philosophy and use the forum provided by ACPA to create professional opportunities for them to improve their career development.
