== Standards & Practices for this Wiki ==
# The criteria for program inclusion is just that a philosophy (or a history and philosophy of science ) Ph.D. programhave at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology. <ref>FreeFor the most part, free-standing Science & Technology Studies (or Science Studies) departments with strengths in philosophy of biology are not aren't listed. The rationale for this is that since this wiki's intended audience is prospective philosophy/HPS Ph.D. students, the assumption is that they aren't targeting STS programs. The Of course, there are borderline cases, e.g., the University of Exeter's Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Philosophy is a borderline case that is included because (1) its name contains ; the word University of Chicago'philosophys Committee on the Conceptual and Historical Studies of Science; and Arizona State University' s Center for Biology and (2) it has three faculty working in the philosophy Society, all of biologywhich are listed.</ref> have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.
# The standard of evidence required to make the list is a faculty (or personal) web page of some kind—or a publicly-accessible CV—that lists philosophy of biology as a primary research interest.
# Philosophers who have made significant contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as a current AOS/AOC are usually not listed.<ref>[http://www.pitt.edu/~pkmach/index.html Peter Machamer] and [http://www.hps.pitt.edu/profile/woodward.php James Woodward] at the University of Pittsburgh Department of History and Philosophy of Science are two examples.</ref> However, sometimes philosophers' short web bios do not list philosophy of biology as an AOS, though their expanded bios or personal web pages do.<ref>[http://philosophy.ubc.ca/persons/john-beatty/ John Beatty] at the University of British Columbia is an example.</ref> This wiki simply reflects the self-reports of online faculty listings so as to avoid having to make judgment calls about who counts as a philosopher of biology in borderline cases. The rule of thumb is: someone counts if they say they count.# Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, and philosophy of medicine, and history of biology—in and of themselves—are not counted as philosophy of biology, though philosophers of biology with those interests are listed.# <strong>This is a wiki, so anyone can contribute</strong>. If programs or faculty have been overlooked—which is assuredly the case—please feel free you are encouraged to make changes. Also, information will date quickly—especially , e.g., links to pdf CVs since their filenames often contain the (approximate) date of creation—so by all means help fix linkskeep things up to date.
