*The University of Pittsburgh has
two departments on one campus, the Department of Philosophy (linked
above) and the Department of
the History and Philosophy of Science. As the Philosophial Gourmet
rankings consider the faculties of both departments together, the
percentages and numbers in the right-hand column here reflect their
combined totals.
**The University of California,
Irvine, has two departments on one campus, the Department of Philosophy
(linked above) and the Department
of Logic and Philosophy of Science. As the Philosophical
Gourmet rankings consider the faculties of both departments together,
the percentages and numbers in the right-hand column here reflect their
combined totals.
Calculations based
on the information on each Department's own faculty listing on the Web,
as linked above, as of 12/18/2011.
NOTE: The
information
here on individual departments
is a "snapshot" of departments as of the most recent date noted here,
using the data on each department's own web site. Some of those web
sites apparently are more up-to-date than others, but in the interests
of consistency and fairness, it was determined to base this site
entirely on that
self-reported data. All data and links are checked at the same
time, given the comparative
listing of departments. Information about inaccuracies is welcome at
any time and will be addressed the next time the site is updated.
NOTE: To
the extent
possible, gender is verified by information on the department and
university website as per pronouns and other identifications
included at that site.
