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 2022 and 2023) are:
PRESIDENT: Jing Iris Hu
(Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Concordia University, Montréal)
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.
VICE PRESIDENT: Mercedes Valmisa Oviedo
(Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Gettysburg College)
ACPA performs an essential role in integrating Chinese philosophies within the academic discipline of philosophy in the United States, a role whose importance cannot be sufficiently emphasized. Over the years, ACPA has allowed thousands of Chinese philosophy scholars, including myself, to present their work and create professional networks of support and intellectual exchange. My research intersects philosophy of action, metaphysics, and ethics with a main locus in Classical China and a comparative edge with the rest of the world. As I aim to keep promoting a multicultural concept of philosophy based on dialogue and exchange, I would be honored to contribute to ACPA in this mission.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: Jennifer Wang
(Associate Professor of Philosophy, Simon Fraser University)
My primary research is in metaphysics and classical Chinese philosophy. I am especially interested in building connections between scholars working in Chinese philosophy and social metaphysics. I admire the APCA’s role in promoting Chinese philosophers and philosophies in North America, which is key to strengthening and publicizing important philosophical work. As interest in Chinese philosophy in the wider philosophical community is currently very strong, the APCA is positioned to facilitate new academic partnerships. I am honored to contribute to the APCA’s mission in the role of secretary/treasurer.
