Draft Faculty Lists for Fall 2006 PGR: August 18 Version

MOVING TO FRONT FROM AUGUST 14:  Last call to update faculty lists for 2006 survey!

=================

I’m uploading a new version, and creating a new comments section (no anonymous posts–and post your corrections here, please don’t e-mail me, unless it is a confidential matter), of the draft faculty lists for the fall 2006 PGR surveys:  Download pgr_faculty_lists_for_2006_final.rtf

Please read the intro material carefully.

The Advisory Board voted against adding any additional departments to the lists for evaluation.

Post corrections in the comments section below.  Only those with first-hand knowledge should post corrections.

This the final opportunity to update the faculty lists, which must be finalized by September 1. 

The fall surveys will commence on Monday, September 18, and run for three weeks.  The 2006-08 PGR should be published and on-line by early November.

  1. Christa Davis Acampura in Cuny should be Christa Davis Acampora. see http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/philosophy/HTML/faculty/Acampora.shtml

  2. A few small corrections to the Berkeley list: Prof. Roush's first name is 'Sherrilyn', not 'Sherrilynn'. G. R. F. (John) Ferrari's surname is also misspelled (it's 'Ferrari', not 'Ferrarri'). And Jodi Halpern should be added to the list of affiliated faculty. See http://philosophy.berkeley.edu/people/faculty.html

  3. Professor Craige Roberts (Ohio State, Linguistics, url: http://www.ling.ohio-state.edu/~croberts/) has long been a de facto affiliated faculty member in the Ohio State Philosophy Department. She has been very involved in departmental life in both official and unofficial capacities, including serving on our graduate exams and on dissertation committees. At our departmental meeting of September 18, the Department will vote to officially recognize this affiliation. This is a mere formality since the vast majority of our Department has already expressed support for this recognition in an e-mail poll earlier this summer.

    Don Hubin
    Professor and Chair
    Department of Philosophy
    The Ohio State University

  4. Brian, Richard Joyce has moved from ANU to Sydney. Huw.

  5. Sean Ebels Duggan

    "Kyle Ebels Duggan" on the Northwestern list should be "Kyla Ebels Duggan".

  6. A correction (or two?) for the Saint Louis faculty list. Missing from the list is Scott Berman (Greek Philosophy, Contemporary Metaphysics), and 'Scott' Ragland has published as C.P. Ragland.

  7. Two changes to the Monash list:

    1. David Neil is no longer at Monash.

    2. Jeanette Kennett should be added to part-time faculty.

  8. A correction for the Temple list: missing is Carol Gould who joins the department this year.

  9. At the University of Missouri, John Kultgen will have retired by fall 2007. Also, Joseph Bien is now over 70.

    Andrew Melnyk
    Chair, Philosophy
    University of Missouri-Columbia

  10. Brian,

    I don't think the listing makes clear the actual circusmtanecs re Hawthorne. He will be here full-time in the spring of 06-07 and full-time in the spring of 07-08 and 1/4 time after that. The way this now looks, it conveys the unavoidable impression that he won't be here at all in 07-08 because he isn't listed as 1/2 time in 07-08.

    Could you make the parenthetical remark this: "06-08 1/2 time, 08 and beyond, 1/4 time)" ?

    Or some such thing. It is really important, I think, that prospective students know that he will be here 1/2 time in 07-08 and 1/4 time after that.

    Peter

  11. Crystal Thorpe is no longer at the University of Florida.

  12. Dr Alan Weir, of Queen's University, Belfast has been appointed to a Professorship in Philosophy in the University of Glasgow

  13. I wonder if you could add Kevin Hart and Felicitas Munzel to the list of affiliated faculty at Notre Dame. Both are faculty of other departments involved in the teaching and advising of our doctoral students. Hart's involvement has been especially heavy.

    Thanks so much.

  14. I'm moving from the University of Leeds to the University of Bristol.

  15. Allan Casebier is no longer affiliated with the University of Miami Philosophy Department. (He has moved away from the Miami area.)

  16. Samantha Brennan

    It's Lorne Falkenstein, not Loren. And Andrew Botterell, not Botterel.
    Thanks, Samantha

  17. Mary Margaret McCabe

    The King's College London list should include Shalom Lappin, Andrew Mason and Richard Samuels (Richard is not moving to Ohio until mid-year, I think); it should exclude Donald Gillies. And my name is Mary Margaret McCabe (not Margaret M…. or variants)!

  18. Mary Margaret McCabe

    …and Anthony Savile is with us part-time in the autumn.

  19. Brian Hendley and James Van Evra will both be retired as of September 1, and so should not be on the Waterloo list.

  20. Please add Michael Rohlf to the Brown faculty list.

  21. I believe that Michael Moore at UIUC should appear as part time (quarter-time) faculty rather than as affiliated.

  22. A few minor spelling changes for Stanford faculty:

    "Angnieszka Jaworska" should be "Agnieszka Jaworska"
    "Graciella De Pierris" should be "Graciela De Pierris"
    "Johann van Benthem" should be "Johan van Benthem"
    (see http://www-philosophy.stanford.edu/fss.html)

    "Denis Philips" should be "Denis Phillips"
    (see http://ed.stanford.edu/suse/faculty/displayRecord.php?suid=dcpphd, which has the correct spelling).

  23. Please list Nicholas Smith at Sydney as "Nicholas J. J. Smith".

  24. John D Greenwood, Executive Officer, CUNY Graduate Center

    Angelica Nuzzo of Brooklyn College joined the CUNY Graduate Center faculty in Spring 06.

  25. A few corrections to the York (Toronto) list:

    1. Aurther Wesley Cragg, Ian Jarvie and David M. Johnson have retired and so should be dropped.

    2. Idil Boran should be added.

    3. Hodgson is missing the 's'.
