Hello Everyone.

I figured i’d share a few pieces exciting news and updates.

First, NASEP Blog was recognized as Phenomenological Organization Website of the Week by the Newsletter of Phenomenology (Issue 387 / 6 – 15 November 2012).  If you haven’t seen this issue, click here.  Kudos to Rodney and all involved for their continued efforts with the blog.  Thanks for making it a fantastic and essential phenomenological resource for the community!

Second, the special issue of Symposium devoted to early phenomenology was pressed and released in October.  The issue was edited by Kimberly Baltzer-Jaray (NASEP President) and Jeff Mitscherling (NASEP Member), and it is titled “Husserl and the Göttingen Circle”  — Vol. 16, No. 2 (2012).  Details about the issue can be found here, the CSCP site.   It was mentioned in the Newsletter of Phenomenology (Issue 386 / 26 – 5 November 2012).

Third, the special issue of Quaestiones Disputatae on early phenomenology is now available.  Titled “Selected Papers on Early Phenomenology: Munich and Göttingen,” it will serve as a sampling of and testament to the fantastic papers presented at the very successful conference held at Franciscan University of Steubenville 29 – 30th May 2011, organized by Mark Roberts.  Papers by both keynote speakers, Dallas Willard and Alice von Hildebrand, are included as well.  This journal was also edited by our president, Kimberly, and it too was mentioned in the Newsletter of Phenomenology (Issue 387 / 6 – 15 November 2012).  Further information about the issue is available here.

Needless to say, NASEP is growing steadily in popularity and we are being noticed globally!  Early phenomenology also seems to be enjoying a bit of limelight this fall.  Lovely that NASEP is an integral part of that.

Plans for NASEP 2013 are well underway and updates should be available shortly to those on our membership list. The wonderful Lester Embree is our keynote this year, and the papers submitted thus far are showing the promise of yet another great conference.

Cheers!
