The American Maritain Association invites proposals for papers to be
delivered at its 34th annual international conference to be held in
Canton, OH, Thursday – Saturday, October 14-16, 2010.

Sponsored by Walsh University, this year’s conference theme is
“Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Scholasticism and Politics.”
While papers may be on any topic of philosophical merit, conference
participants are encouraged to examine this book and reflect on the
vast range of topics indicated by the titles of the essays in it.
Maritain was a master at identifying essential distinctions, and with
only one exception (his essay, “The Thomist Idea of Freedom”), every
one of the remaining ten essays in this book is defined by a title
that sets one concept in relation to another. Examples include:
“Science and Philosophy,” “The Human Person and Society,” “Democracy
and Authority,” and “Action and Contemplation,” to name just a few.
Check out this rich little volume; there are so many wonderful essays
in it and they suggest a wide variety of additional topics and themes.

Paper presentations at the conference should be limited to 25 minutes
reading time, with 15 minutes for discussion. To submit an electronic
proposal abstract of 500 words or less, please visit: <http://
maritain.veritasprima.org>, the proposal submission site. In order to
receive full consideration, proposals should be completed online by no
later than June 30th 2010. Questions regarding the submission of
proposals should be directed to the Program Chair: Dr. Gavin Colvert,
Associate Professor, Philosophy Department, Assumption College, 500
Salisbury St., Worcester, MA 01609 (email: gcol...@assumption.edu).

A special invitation is extended to graduate students. A stipend of
$250.00 will be awarded to a graduate student paper selected for
presentation by the Program Committee. In order to be considered for
this award, please indicate your interest at the time of the
submission of your completed paper. Papers will be evaluated by the
Program Committee prior to the conference. The award recipient will be
announced and the stipend awarded at the conference.

In addition, the AMA extends an invitation to societies or individuals
interested in organizing a satellite session for the 2010 conference.
Complete details regarding the submission of satellite session
proposals are available at the web address indicated above.

The conference venue: Canton, Ohio is home to the National First
Ladies Museum (directly across the street from the conference hotel),
the National Pro Football Hall of Fame, and numerous colleges and
universities. The Thursday and Friday conference sessions will be
held at the McKinley Grand Hotel; wonderful accommodations with really
affordable rates. On Saturday, participants will travel to the
beautiful campus of Walsh University. The conference venue is
conveniently accessible from The Akron-Canton Airport, with free
shuttle service to the hotel! More exciting details to come in June!
