Only electronic submissions will be considered.  Please include your title, 100-word abstract, and word count in your submission email.  The paper itself may be in Word, rtf, or PDF format.  Be sure to include an email address for follow up communication.

Deadline for receipt of submissions is Friday, September 12, 2025.  Decisions  will be sent in late September/early October.

Submissions should be sent directly to our President:

[subject line: "TPA submission"]

 Respondents: We will issue a call for commentators in late September; please help by volunteering and encouraging your advanced students and colleagues to do so, too.

TPA normally reserves a block of rooms for those attending the TPA.  Reservation information will be posed as soon as available.

For one or two persons, a relatively inexpensive alternative is to stay at the Scarritt Bennett Center at 1027 18th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212.  Scarritt Bennett (http://www.scarrittbennett.org/), once a Methodist seminary, is also a short walk from Furman Hall.  Accommodations are singles in dormitory buildings (two rooms per bath) and are modestly priced.  For individual room bookings, call 615.340.7469 to speak with a Guest Services staff member.
