Main Page
This wiki provides information about Ph.D. (and terminal M.A.) programs that have faculty who have worked in experimental philosophy. The primary intended audience is prospective or current graduate students with interests in experimental philosophy who want to get the lay of the land by seeing who works where, and on what.

How to Contribute
This is a wiki, so anyone can contribute. If programs or faculty have been overlooked—which is assuredly the case—you are encouraged to add them, even if you are not a member of that department. Also, information will date rapidly so by all means help keep things up to date. Wiki formatting/markup is very straightforward. Just click 'Edit' at the top of the page—or next to the entry you want to modify—and mimic the format of existing entries.
Every program listed also has a separate Wiki Program Page where additional information can be provided to prospective students. While the style and format of this main page should be kept consistent, individual Wiki Program Pages can take any form whatsoever. To edit one of these pages, simply follow the Wiki Program Page link underneath the department listing of interest and edit that page. To add a Wiki Program Page, follow the directions here.[1]
Unless otherwise specified, Wiki Program Pages presently contain the same information as the front-page listing, though that should change over time.
This site does not pretend to provide an exhaustive list of experimental philosophy graduate programs, though that is the goal. Contributing will help to achieve that goal sooner rather than later.

Standards, Practices, and Guidelines
This wiki is intended to provide information about experimental philosophy relatively narrowly construed. In other words, it is not intended to provide information about all philosophical work that draws on experimental research, but only about the relatively recent tradition involving experiments that are actually conducted by philosophers. Faculty members are listed if they have either conducted research in experimental philosophy or supervised students who have conducted research in experimental philosophy.
