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 2020 and 2021) are:
PRESIDENT: Suk Choi
(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.
VICE 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. 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.
SECRETARY/TREASURER: 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.
