Finalized Program for the 36th International Meeting of THE ERIC VOEGELIN SOCIETY, 2020
36th International Meeting of THE ERIC VOEGELIN SOCIETY, 2020
American Political Science Association Meeting,
September 10-13,
Scheduled for San Francisco, Moved Online
David Walsh, Meeting Director
Dear Friends,
This is our modified EVS meeting that is significantly adjusted from what was distributed earlier in the summer. Please take note that the times are listed as MT (Mountain Time). You will have to calculate the time for your own time zone. Eastern Time is obtained by adding two hours to the times listed below. This was a convention selected by APSA to accommodate a meeting that takes place nowhere, just like St. Thomas More’s Utopia. So while you too will not be travelling, you will be visiting that strange island. Registration is required by our host and they will distribute the login authentications. Much will depend on the good offices of our panel chairs who should familiarize themselves with videoconferencing basics. No doubt APSA will distribute guidelines.
As always it is very important that the panelists receive your paper or remarks in advance of the meeting. Discussants should be given the opportunity to prepare responses and fellow panelists may wish to make comments as well. For many years the Eric Voegelin Institute has posted papers and maintained an archive. I strongly encourage you to forward your papers to Jim Stoner ([email protected]) who will preserve this record of our proceedings.
Another item of note is that APSA wishes to include the Related Groups among their listed divisions. This means that we need to have all who are APSA members indicate the Eric Voegelin Society among the divisions to which they belong. Simply login as a member, click on your name at the top, look over the Related Groups boxes, and click EVS. Nothing more is required at this time, although this may purport other changes in the relationship which is now 36 years old! The only requirement is that Related Groups have at least 35 members, which is definitely not a problem for us. For now this may merely be a housekeeping exercise, but one that I strongly urge you to take care of as soon as you can.
Finally, I remind you of the continued importance of your contributions. Unlike the residents of Utopia we have not been entirely able to dispense with the need for money. In particular we have continuing needs in the area of digital support. VoegelinView may be virtual but it is not free. Even with the volunteer labor on which it exists there are recurrent expenses of a professional nature. We depend on the generosity of contributors and donors who should send their remittances by clicking the Donate button.
