The Internal Review Committee (IRC) received the Final Assessment Report for the Department of Philosophy from the IRS on 05 February 2013. The IRC now presents an Executive Summary of the review, which includes the following:
- Introduction - Summary of the review process - Review Committee’s recommendations - Administrative responses to the report from the Chair, Dean, and Provost
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Philosophy is a community of dedicated teachers and productive philosophical researchers. It was founded in 1965 with an initial complement of five male faculty (John Bruce (chair), Brian Calvert, Michael Ruse, Donald Stewart, George Todd) which quickly grew: in 1975 there were 21 regular faculty (1 female). In 1966 it began offering MA degrees and in 1971, in a joint program with McMaster University (augmented in 1999 to include Wilfrid Laurier University) it began offering PhD degrees. In 2008 the department, deciding that it had the requisite capability and breadth, began offering its own PhD program; the joint program then dissolved. The Department now has 20 full-time regular faculty (7 female), two of whom are jointly appointed (one with Psychology, the other with the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program). The Department offers BA, MA and PhD degrees in Philosophy, as well as offering a Minor in Ethics in the Life Sciences. The Department has many connections with other units and programs. The Minor in Philosophy is one possible component of the popular Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program. They also contribute to the European Studies program both with course offerings and faculty members serving on their graduate students’ advisory committees. That advisory contribution extends to other departments in the College as well. They also offer courses that are required for the popular Criminal Justice and Public Policy program. To undergraduates, they offer a wide range of courses in almost every area of philosophy, both historical and contemporary, and ample opportunities to pursue individual research projects. In the master's and doctoral programs, students pursue research at a more advanced level and prepare (in the doctoral program) for careers as teachers and researchers. The Department is home to three research groups, Philosophy of Science, Feminist Philosophy, and Political Philosophy.
Academic Programs included in Review:
Philosophy, BA Philosophy, MA Philosophy, PhD
SUMMARY OF THE REVIEW PROCESS
Submission of Self-Study by Department: 05 November 2012 (due 1 November) Site visit: 21/22 January 2013 Final Assessment Report received: 05 February 2013 (expected: February 06) Response of Chair: requested, 06 February 2013; received, February 20 (expected: February 20) Response of Dean: requested, 22 February 2012; received, 11 March 2013 (expected: March 08)
The IRS conducted their site-visit to review the Department's academic programs, both graduate and undergraduate on February 21 and 22, 2013. Their agenda included meetings with (in chronological order): Anthony Clarke, Assistant Vice-President (Graduate Studies & Program Quality Assurance); Don Bruce, Dean, Ann Wilson, Assoc. Dean (Academic), and Stuart McCook, Assoc. Dean (Research & Graduate Studies), College of Arts; Mark McCullagh, Chair of the Department of Philosophy; undergraduate students; members of the faculty; graduate Program Committee; Serge Demarais, Assoc. Vice-President (Academic); departmental staff; graduate students; Undergraduate Curriculum Committee; library staff; and an exit interview with Assistant Vice-President Anthony Clarke.
REVIEWERS’ RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall, and without exceptions, the IRS found everyone to be extremely helpful and forthcoming. They were particularly impressed by the eloquent and engaged undergraduate students who unequivocally and without hesitation expressed their respect, gratitude and admiration for their philosophy faculty. It is very clear that they are receiving excellent mentoring and attention. The IRS were also very impressed by the young, engaged, and solicitous faculty, who are thoroughly engaged with every aspect of their program and department. They were also pleasantly surprised to meet the staff, which recently has undergone personnel changed, but for the better. One of the staff, in fact, had returned to philosophy after having worked in a different department. It was clear that they are a cohesive and effective team. They also noted that we took a physical tour of the library section that is relevant to the philosophy department and were very impressed by the extensive primary language holdings of the university. They deliberately asked for this tour because we wanted to verify that your faculty and students have access to a first rate collection, which in fact they do. In anticipation of their recommendations, however, the IRS wanted to note that the only encounter that led us to pause and be concerned is when they met with the graduate students. They discovered, not to their surprise, that many of the students have deliberately chosen Guelph as their top school. Many applied to Guelph to study with faculty in the program who are nationally and internationally recognized. It was also clear that they are getting personal attention and the kind of mentoring that will allow them to compete on the job market when they graduate, thus continuing the stellar placement record that the department of philosophy has already gained. Yet, these very students who praised their professors and mentors, did not fail to express their apprehension and even fear for the future of their program. The declining numbers of admissions to the program is a major source of their concerns. They all emphatically expressed that decreasing number of Ph.D. admits is and will continue to have adverse effects on the quality of their education and the strength and viability of their program.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Undergraduate Program
1. Space for undergraduate students in department be created, and a restructuring of the department space to facilitate interaction among all the different types of students be studied and implemented.
2. The undergraduate program committee should simplify the breadth, depth, and sequencing of requirements of curriculum to make them more intuitive and legible.
3. Greater gender balance reflected in texts and philosophers studied across the curriculum
Graduate Programs
4. Improve the timing of acceptance offers
5. Details of funding packages need to be made earlier
6. The evident superior capacity to train and educate at the graduate level must be used by increasing the number of graduate students admitted. Graduate education must be protected by keeping a steady, and calculable, number of graduate students.
7. More funding for international students, along with greater flexibility in the possibilities to fund them.
8. More specific help with preparing for job interviews, preparing dossiers, producing teaching statements, research statements, and knowing how to structure a letter of application Create a template or structure for the professional seminar that deliver from year to year the same or similar modules There should be a formalized procedure to deliver help with dossier preparation - esp. Research and Teaching Statements The department should host each semester a workshop on how to get published More opportunities to interact with undergraduate philosophy students should be created Graduate Students should have greater opportunities to teach more courses in order to strengthen their CV and Teaching Dossiers
Philosophy Faculty
9. More travel and research funds internally
10. Colloquium funds be expanded to allow the department to bring on a more regular basis other philosophers to give talks or colloquia—this will benefit faculty, undergraduate and graduate students alike.
11. Allow SSHRC and other Research money to top-up student stipends
12. Create more opportunities for teaching release to increase and facilitate faculty research.
13. Provide mentoring to “Research Services” so that they become more sensitive to how humanities research is undertaken and how it is produced (compared to Sciences and Social Sciences)
14. Promotion to Full Professor should be encouraged and targeted (i.e. when someone is clearly at the level of professorship, the Chair should initiative a promotion with the consultation of the respective faculty)
15. More clarity on finances within College of Arts
16. Better timing of funding decisions within CoA
College of Arts and University Administration
17. Clearer communication about financial history of department
18. Clearer and more timely communication about number of graduate students admitted each year

4 Part I The Self Study
A. Introduction
(a) Description of department The Philosophy Department was founded in 1965 with an initial complement of five male faculty (John Bruce (chair), Brian Calvert, Michael Ruse, Donald Stewart, George Todd) which quickly grew: in 1975 there were 21 regular faculty (1 female). In 1966 it began offering MA degrees and in 1971, in a joint program with McMaster University (augmented in 1999 to include Wilfrid Laurier University) it began offering PhD degrees. In 2008 the department, deciding that it had the requisite capability and breadth, began offering its own PhD program; the joint program then dissolved. The department now has 20 full-time regular faculty (7 female), two of whom are jointly ap- pointed (one with Psychology, the other with the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program). The department offers BA, MA and PhD degrees in Philosophy, as well as offering a Minor in Ethics in the Life Sciences. Table 1 lists these programs along with their enrolments for Fall 2000 and Fall 2010. The department has many connections with other units and programs. The Minor in Philoso- phy is one possible component of the popular Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program. We also contribute to the European Studies program both with course offerings and with our faculty serving on their graduate students’ advisory committees. That advisory contribution extends to other de- partments in the College as well, as our faculty’s CVs show. We also offer courses that are required for the popular Criminal Justice and Public Policy program. The many other connections between our programs or course offerings, and programs housed elsewhere in the University, are detailed in Appendix A5. Moreover several of our faculty serve on important University committees as ethicists, e.g. the Animal Care Committee. The Guelph Philosophy Department is a community of active researchers. During the Fall 2008–Summer 2010 faculty evaluation period, the (at that time) 18 research-active members of the department’s faculty published a total of 15 books, 32 refereed articles, 15 book chapters, and 8 entries in professional reference works, and gave 81 conference presentations and invited professional talks. In a discipline in which a substantial peer-reviewed journal article each year, or a book every few years, would be considered a very good level of research productivity, this level of scholarly output can be set alongside any rival department in Canada. Our students are correspondingly active, as the publication records shown in §E.(c) attest. Our faculty are not only productive researchers but dedicated and hard-working teachers. In one recent semester (Fall 2011) those regular faculty not on Study/Research or Parental Leave taught, on average, 92 students each (1,294 enrolments taught by 14 faculty). Our students consistently rate our faculty’s teaching very highly, as is shown in §D.(b).

(b) Preparation of document This document was written mostly by the Chair of the department, Mark McCullagh, drawing at points upon previous documents prepared by his predecessor, Andrew Bailey, and with contribu- tions from the department’s Graduate Secretary, Janet Thackray and the Department Secretary, Mary Roberts-Payne. An early draft was circulated in September to all the faculty, graduate stu- dents, and staff, as well as to the Undergraduate Philosophy Students’ Society. That draft was discussed at that month’s department meeting. A second, fuller draft was circulated in October to the same people and discussed at our October meeting. Feedback on these occasions, and conveyed to McCullagh by email or in person, was reflected in the final version.
B. Program Objectives and Degree Level Outcomes
The objectives of the department’s programs are:
Passion for philosophy We want to foster a passion for philosophical inquiry and debate in our students. Part of this is developing confidence in one’s own views, and appreciation of the views of others.
Philosophical skills We want to enable our students to improve their skill in carrying out such inquiry and debate. These skills include:
• being able to write an essay that clearly presents a claim, argues in support of it, and addresses possible objections to it; • being able to participate actively and respectfully in a discussion of some philosophical issue, considering the relative merits of different arguments and claims that are made; • being able to understand the philosophical positions and arguments put forward by others, whether in writing or in speech.
6 Cross-cultural awareness We want to educate our students about philosophical work already done, by great minds in times and, often, in cultures far removed from ours: to appreciate its richness, variety, and, in many cases, the fecundity that outlives its original appearance in the history of human thought. Philosophy, like travel, broadens the mind.
Research contribution We want our faculty and students to contribute to contemporary informed discussions of philosophical issues.
Before describing how the pursuit of each of these objectives contributes to the University’s pursuit of its overall objectives, it might be useful to briefly explain what these “philosophical issues” are. Philosophy can fairly be described as the study of agency at its best: what is it for an animal to make its way in the world on the basis of rationally formed judgements? (“Rational” is a normative term, a term of praise; so the basic question is not one that admits of conclusive resolution by empirical observation.) Asking this question immediately raises others, which are addressed by different areas of philosophy:
Epistemology What is it to form judgements rationally? Much of what any creature believes comes in by way of perception. When is it rational to believe as perception suggests? Does perception supply us with “raw” information or with something already structured by our concepts?
Philosophy of Science Much of what we believe finds a place in one or another scientific theory. How are such theories rationally formed? Can the evidence ever prove a theory?
Moral theory What is it that makes some actions right and others wrong? Are there any rules governing proper action? Or is morality about agents taken as wholes, rather than their particular actions? What gives things value—is it just their usefulness to us? Or could a work of art, or the Earth’s ecosystem, say, have some value regardless of its usefulness to us?
Political philosophy How should groups of rational agents arrange their basic relationships and entitlements? Is there ever a legitimate exercise of authority, by one agent over another?
Metaphysics Under this heading fall several very high-level questions. One is: How, if at all, can the natural-scientific picture of the world, according to which it develops according to mathematically formulated laws, be reconciled with the picture of the world according to which the choices of agents make a difference? How, in short, do minds fit into the picture that the natural sciences give us? Another question is: Is our practice of thinking of the world in terms of objects and the properties they have little more than a longstanding habit, or is there some justification for that conceptual scheme?
Logic Many of our judgements are arrived at by inference. What is it about the truth of an in- ference’s premises that could secure the truth of its conclusion? In formal logic, we seek to explain this in terms of structural relationships among our judgements.
7 Aesthetics/Philosophy of Art What is a work of art? What role in it does the artist’s intention play? What is proper appreciation of art? What role should art have in our lives?
Philosophy of Mind/Language What is it to have a belief, to make a judgement? We express these in words, but what gives words their meanings? Are there objective facts about the interpretation of writing or speech?
History of Philosophy Every one of the topics just listed has been the focus of philosophical attention for centuries. Many answers that are still being debated are ones that were first given long ago, even if not in their most articulate form; and a good deal of research done by contemporary philosophers is into understanding the answers given long ago. The study of the history of philosophy is very important to current philosophy—more so than, say, the history of chemistry is to current chemistry.
(a) Departmental objectives and the University’s “Learning Objectives” and “Strategic Directions” In 1987 the Senate of the University of Guelph articulated the University’s Learning Objectives, which are still printed in every copy of our Undergraduate and Graduate Calendars. Students are entitled to expect that a program’s offerings contribute to these objectives. For each University objective, enumerated here, we describe how the Department’s objectives align with it.
1. Literacy Philosophical texts are among the most interpretatively challenging in the history of literature. The cross-cultural awareness that we seek to imbue in our students is secured in good part by partic- ipating in debates about the meanings and implications of this or that philosophical text, written perhaps thousands of years ago, thousands of miles away. Our students read and debate philo- sophical works from medieval Europe, ancient Greece, Rome, Africa, India and China as well as more proximal texts. This is excellent training in interpretation and exegesis, and in imaginatively projecting oneself into another’s presuppositions. On the production side of literacy, philosophical writing develops skill in argumentative expo- sition and clarity of expression. These skills are central to mature literacy. In almost every one of our courses students are required to do a good deal of writing. It is not merely expository: out- side of some writing exercises in first-year courses the standard expectation is that a student will develop her or his own position on some question.
2. Numeracy The Philosophy Department’s offerings are not intended to contribute to developing our students’ numeracy, although there may be a case to be made that they do so nonetheless: remarkably, the most recently published average score of Philosophy majors on the Graduate Record Examination
8 was exactly the same as that of Accounting majors.1 Philosophy has a surprising place in the results for Quantitative, as Figure 1 illustrates.
Figure 1: Average “Quantitative” score, by intended Graduate major, on 2011-12 GRE
http://www.physicscentral.com/buzz/blog/index.cfm?postid=6469561661568777605
It may be that by learning to take care in one’s thinking in general, one learns thereby a skill that contributes to “numeracy” as usually formulated: paying close attention to what some claim does and does not imply. Another possible factor is that the typical Philosophy major program includes study in Formal Logic, which develops students’ understanding of formal systems (mathematics being only one such).
3. Sense of historical development Our human history is reflected in the history of the claims we have made about our own situation and our own nature—that is, it is reflected in the history of philosophy. The cross-cultural aware- ness we seek to develop in our students thus has an important temporal dimension as well as a geographical one. Every student in our Major program is required to take three courses in the history of philoso- phy: • PHIL 2140, History of Greek and Roman Philosophy
• PHIL 2160, Modern European Philosophy to Hume
• PHIL 3080, History of Modern Philosophy from Kant
1See Table 4 of GRE Guide to the Use of Scores, 2012–2013, available at http://www.ets.org/s/gre/ pdf/gre_guide.pdf.
9 Moreover, every student in our Minor program is required to take at least one History of Philosophy course—either one of the ones just listed, or PHIL 3060, Medieval Philosophy. Taken as a group, and in sequence, those courses give our students a basic yet deep under- standing of the historical development of philosophical thought in the Western tradition. The other our traditions represented in our course offerings, while not comprising, as a set, any particular sequence of historical development, nonetheless contribute to the students’ understanding of such development by presenting it within each course. Those courses, each of which counts towards the satisfaction of one of the Major’s distribution requirements, are as follows.
• PHIL 3910, Indian Philosophy
• PHIL 3920, Chinese Philosophy
• PHIL 3930, African Philosophy
Finally in addition to those programmatically required courses we offer several other courses in the history of philosophy, focusing on important aspects of the historical development of Western philosophical thought:
• PHIL 3090, Philosophy of Kant
• PHIL 3210, Women in the History of Philosophy
• PHIL 3410, Major Texts in the History of Philosophy
A student in one of our programs richly develops her sense of historical development.
4. Global understanding Philosophy is practiced by anyone who reflects and argues about their place in the world—it is in no way something practiced only by those in a certain culture or economic stratum. The Depart- ment of Philosophy, in seeking to develop cross-cultural awareness, seeks thereby to develop its students’ understanding of the different cultures there are on our planet. Different cultures have contributed to philosophy, and different cultures have perspectives that any well-educated philoso- phy student must learn about. Many of the courses just listed under the previous heading are ones that contribute to developing our students’ global understanding, even their understanding of con- temporary cultures in other parts of the globe inasmuch as those cultures still reflect the heritage examined in one of our historically-oriented courses. Philosophy’s distinctive contribution to global understanding may lie in the way that it intro- duces students to ethical problems with a global (and so cross-cultural) reach. Several of our courses in social and political philosophy in particular raise pressing questions about what ethics demands in a globalized world: how should we respond to climate change and environmental degradation, and to the needs of ‘climate refugees’? What obligations do those in affluent coun- tries have to the global poor? What is the ethical significance of citizenship, and do states’ borders have moral standing? What ethical guidelines ought to guide the development and application of new reproductive and genetic technologies for human communities?
10 5. Moral maturity Morality is a central philosophical topic. We offer many courses on moral topics, too numerous to list here, spanning not only the range of contemporary topics and theories but the range of thought on these matters over the centuries and in different cultures. The first step towards moral maturity is appreciating that moral judgements are not mere re- flexes: we can give and ask for reasons for them. One does philosophy once one starts critically examining those reasons, asking whether they better support this moral judgement than they do another, perhaps conflicting one; and once one starts tracing those reasons back to fundamental principles and undertaking the daunting task of inquiring into what justification they might have. Doing this is one important way of developing the philosophical skills that it is one of our aims to develop in our students. But moral maturity is not achieved solely by intellectual sparring, important and skill-building though that is. It comes also partly in the intellectual humility that develops along with it: the appreciation, deepened only through experience, that there are often reasons that one has not con- sidered, or perspectives that one has insufficiently appreciated. This humility too, along with disputational skill, is developed in a philosophical education, even those parts of it that do not take morality as their explicit topic. In short, the philosophical skills that it is one of our departmental objectives to develop in our students contributes significantly to developing at the same time their moral maturity. Finally it is worth mentioning, as the Undergraduate Calendar notes, that “guidelines for con- ducting ethical discussion in the classroom have been written by the Ethics Research Group in the Department of Philosophy.”
6. Aesthetic maturity The severe pursuit of any discipline instils aesthetic maturity. As our Undergraduate Calendar notes:
Aesthetic maturity need not be divorced from the specific character of individual dis- ciplines. By possession and exercise of aesthetic maturity, students may be brought to appreciate the order, elegance, and harmony not only of the subject matter, but also of the procedures, of the discipline.
By practicing philosophy with encouragement from their peers and faculty, our students develop their appreciation of the elegance and harmony that is possible in argument and in theorizing about the nature of rational animal agency. In addition to instilling aesthetic maturity by these disciplinary means, our department does offer two courses focusing specifically on artworks as a philosophical topic:
• PHIL 2220, Philosophy and Literary Art
• PHIL 3050, Philosophy of Art
11 7. Understanding of forms of inquiry The nature of inquiry is an explicit topic in philosophy: in epistemology generally, and philosophy of science more specifically. It is also a topic in cognitive psychology. What is distinctive of the philosopher’s approach is that for her the topic is very often a normative rather than descriptive one: the question is not, How do we conduct our inquiries? but, How should we conduct our inquiries? Each of us is, after all, prone to various biases and cognitive shortcuts. Epistemology focuses on the nature of proper inquiry. It would be easy to say that truth is its goal. But truths are easy to accumulate. What we want are useful truths, truths that explain rather than merely record. The nature of explanation is central then, in epistemology and philosophy of science. Every Philosophy major is expected to learn the basic issues in this area of philosophy and to write essays defending some viewpoint or claim.
8. Depth and breadth of understanding In almost any academic discipline one is expected to treat a given topic with extraordinary thor- oughness. In philosophy this thoroughness consists not so much in the gathering of more evidence on the topic, but in the consideration of as many possible reasonable objections to the claim or view one wishes to propound, and in the articulation of strong replies to those possible objections. The depth, then, is depth of argument; and in pursuing the arguments, pro and con, one builds one’s understanding of the claim in the best possible way. The discussion and writing that we ask of our students—the philosophical skills that we build in them—develop their depth and breadth of understanding.
9. Independence of thought Many students come to our classes never having been encouraged to be argumentative. We en- courage them. This is the passion for philosophy that we want to develop. We ask the same of our students, and encourage them to develop their own views on some topic, asking of them only that they give reasons for them, and consider, and reply to, possible objections to them. We do not pretend to our students that there is some settled doctrine shared by all contemporary philosophers. Philosophers are maximally liberal intellectually, or try to be. Some evidence of suc- cess in this respect is that philosophy is home to many widely different views on almost every one of its topics. This is a sign not of chaos but of unfettered—yet logically disciplined—intellectual exploration.
10. Love of learning The first objective we have listed is that of instilling and encouraging passion for philosophy in our students. We try to do this foremost by respecting their efforts in philosophy: by coming to each of our courses with the assumption that each student in them will have something distinctively theirs to say.
12 In summary, then, our departmental objectives are very much in line with the University’s overall Learning Objectives. Our departmental objectives also align well with the University’s “Strategic Directions,” articulated in its 1995 Strategic Plan. We address these in turn.
Learner Centredness There is often unclarity about what “Learner Centredness” means. The 1995 Strategic Plan intro- duces it as follows.
Learner-centredness is an approach to education that aims at developing in each stu- dent, as early as possible, a sense of responsibility for his or her own learning. (8)
In philosophy we pursue this approach by requiring of each of our students, whenever she sits down to write an essay, to think about what thesis she wants to propose and how she wants to defend that thesis. This is a specifically intellectual responsibility. No philosophy essay is a mere summary or survey. What we encourage in our students, what we enable them to do, is to engage with claims rather than merely repeat them. (Even in our historically focused courses we do not ask our students merely to memorize what this or that famous philosopher has said, then reiterate that in some summary. Intellectual engagement is expected and encouraged.) Engaging with the claims of others, defending one’s own, discovering one’s own commitments in this process: this for us is the essence of Learner Centredness and it is the point of the philo- sophical skills that it is one of our main objectives to develop in our students. Our students recognize that we do a very good job in this respect, as their responses indicate when they are asked if we “encourage critical thinking” (see §D.(b)).
Research Intensiveness One of our department’s goals is that of Research contribution: making one’s own mark on some philosophical topic. Even in our introductory courses we ask students to formulate and defend some claim of theirs, on some philosophical question. While their skills at that stage are not such as to enable them to see such efforts into print in a professional journal, it is important that what they are doing is the same sort of thing that professional philosophers do when they write such articles. The difference is one of degree not of kind. Every student who asks herself what her view on some philosophical issue is, and undertakes the hard work of articulating and defending that view, is doing philosophical research and thereby making a research contribution. (One might wonder how pathbreaking such efforts could be. The space of possible views on a given philosophical question is surprisingly large; so it would be more remarkable if some student’s view had already been articulated down to the last detail than if it had not.) The doing of research, then, permeates all our programs whether undergraduate or graduate.
Collaboration Under this heading the Strategic Plan speaks of “the need to promote interdisciplinary teaching and research” (10). Philosophy in its programs and research does both of these.
13 First, as to research—whether done by faculty, graduate students, or undergraduate students. Philosophy has been richly interdisciplinary since the days of Plato, who required his students to learn mathematics before philosophy, and Aristotle, who (as far as we can tell) spent most of his time doing biological fieldwork and theorizing. In our department, which is not atypical in this respect, we have people whose research requires them to know about biology, physics, cognitive psychology, medicine, classical literature and languages, economics, history, sociology, and lin- guistics; collaboration with workers in those fields comes naturally as part of these overlappings of research domains. (Collaboration of that sort seldom requires much in the way of an institu- tional framework: it’s a matter of meeting someone at a conference, visiting someone in another building, or talking with them, or emailing; and things go well as long as there is no institutional impediment to this.) As to undergraduate teaching, Philosophy courses are recognized as important components of other programs, as is detailed below in Appendix A5. Finally there is the important matter of interactions with philosophers at other universities. Every thriving philosophy department, especially any department with graduate programs, has to have visits from philosophers presenting their current research and interacting with our students and faculty. This sort of cross-fertilization is very important, and the department needs a larger budget, especially to invite speakers from abroad, in order to support more of this crucial activity.
Internationalism Under this heading the Strategic Plan mentions activities such as
exchanges and institutional linkages . . . research opportunities with foreign co-investigators . . . and international conferences . . . opportunities for graduate students to study abroad, and the participation of international students in our graduate programs. (11)
The Department of Philosophy’s pursuit of its departmental objectives requires it to do a good deal in this direction, inasmuch as the contemporary philosophy community is an international one. We know that our students and faculty must be exposed to, and engage with, philosophers from other countries, not only by reading their writings but by meeting them at conferences, visiting them directly, or having them visit us. Accordingly we:
• invite visiting speakers from abroad when they are in the area
• encourage applications to our graduate programs by students from abroad (see Tables 2 and 3, below)
• encourage scholarly connections with other countries, e.g. the exchanges made possible by the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute
• host conferences to which speakers from other countries are invited
• have external examiners and advisory committee members from other countries
14 We would love to do more than this, but institutional funding is an important constraint. We would love to have more visiting speakers from abroad, but doing this requires more funding for our speaker program (which at $2,500/year currently allows for at most two speakers per year from the US, never mind overseas). We would love to be able to offer more funding to our international graduate students, but at present there is only a small boost in funding that the College of Arts informally allows for such students, which does little to address the extra costs they face. We would love to have more foreign experts contributing to our graduate program as examiners or advisory committee members, but this would require support for visits to Guelph, and funding for external examiners’ travel has been reduced in recent years. Doing more in the way of internationalism would be wonderful but it requires an institutional commitment in addition to our department-level eagerness.
Open Learning The 1995 Strategic Plan states that “the strategic direction that the SPC [Strategic Planning Com- mittee] embraces under the term Open Learning includes the whole of our distance operations as well as non-credit courses” (11). In recent years the Department of Philosophy has significantly increased its Distance Education offerings. In 2005-06 we offered only two courses in a Distance Education format:
• PHIL 2100, Critical Thinking
• PHIL 2070, Philosophy of the Environment
In 2012-13 we offered the following:
• PHIL 2100, Critical Thinking
• PHIL 2070, Philosophy of the Environment
• PHIL 2120, Ethics
• PHIL 2130, Philosophy of Religion
• PHIL 2170, Existentialism
• PHIL 2600, Business and Professional Ethics
• PHIL 3240, Philosophy of Technology
We will continue to examine opportunities for improving the quality and number of our offer- ings in this format.
15 (b) Outcomes expectations and the department’s ability to meet them 1. Admission requirements and learning objectives Undergraduate At the undergraduate level there are no “Admission requirements” imposed specif- ically by any Philosophy program (see Appendix A). This is a fine state of affairs, inasmuch as we see no reason to think that a student who meets the University’s rather stringent re- quirements for admission would be unable to thrive in any of our Introductory courses.
MA The Graduate Calendar states that the minimum requirement for admission to an MA program is “an average standing of at least second-class honours (’B-’ standing) in the work of the last four semesters or the last two undergraduate years (full-time equivalent).” The students we admit far exceed this minimum requirement, because it is a very competitive admission, as Table 2 shows. Table 2: MA applications and admissions, 2005–11
Year Applications International Admitted 2005 49 18% 4 2006 45 4% 8 2007 59 15% 12 2008 50 8% 4 2009 53 6% 7 2010 39 13% 4 2011 46 13% 7
Our completion rates (see §E.(a)), our MA students’ success in grant applications (see Tables 8 and 9), and the success that our students have in securing admission to PhD programs (see §E.(c)), are evidence of the appropriateness of our admission requirements.
PhD The Graduate Calendar states that admission to a PhD program requires either “a recognized master’s degree obtained with high academic standing”; or (for direct entry to the PhD from a BA) “completion of an honours baccalaureate with high (first-class) standing and demon- stration of research promise.” As with our MA program, however, the students we admit far exceed these minimum requirements, because this too is a very competitive entrance, as Table 3 shows. Table 3: PhD applications and admissions, 2005–11
Year Applications International Admitted 2005 23 n/a 7 2006 20 20% 6

Our completion rates (see §E.(a)), our PhD students’ success in grant applications (see Tables 10 and 11), and the success that our students have in securing academic employment (see §E.(c)), are evidence of the appropriateness of our admission requirements.
2. Enrolment projections Our undergraduate enrolments have in aggregate remained steady over the last five years (the period covered in the Resource Planning and Analysis data package supplied to us in July 2012):
2007–08 4,949 2008–09 5,234 2009–10 5,034 2010–11 5,082 2011–12 4,932 Holding our current program unchanged would probably result in a continuance of this rather steady enrolment picture. However, we have plans to improve our undergraduate program (see §F.(a)), and part of what we are aiming for is an increase in the number of students taking our third- and fourth-year courses—that is, an increase in the number of philosophy majors. Our Curriculum Committee has this foremost in mind in its current deliberations. As for graduate enrolments, as our admission figures (above, Tables 2 and 3) indicate, the demand for our programs certainly imposes no constraint on their expansion from their current levels. Nor does our advisory capacity: looking just at the 2005–08 intakes one gets a very different picture from looking at the 2009–11 intakes; the former is obviously closer to whatever the upper- bound is on our overall advisory capacity. However, the reduction in intakes shown in the tables has been dictated to us. Each year the Associate Dean of Research of the College of Arts states a limit on our intakes and we have stayed within these limits. (We were told to admit no more than 9 MA students and 3 PhD students for Fall 2012, for example.) Department-level factors, then, are insufficient to determine an enrolment projection.
3. Consonance of curriculum with current state of discipline Our Curriculum Committee has surveyed the undergraduate course offerings, and BA programs, of philosophy departments at 8 other Canadian universities. They are roughly comparable to ours, as Appendix C shows.
17 Our graduate programs too reflect the current state of the discipline of Philosophy. There is no better evidence of this than that we attract many applications to these programs (see Tables 2 and 3, above) and our students have good outcomes from these programs (see §D.(c), below).
4. Innovation and creativity The Department of Philosophy is full of innovators, for that is what researchers are. Moreover, we innovate in the ways in which we achieve our other departmental objectives, those of instilling passion for philosophy and philosophical skills. Here we mention a few of the ways in which we have innovated recently. At the Undergraduate level we have:
• offered several courses as “field” courses with significant off-campus components. Philoso- phy students in these courses (run by Houle and by Linquist) have:
– visited anatomy labs, an abbatoir and a blood donor clinic – gone to Prince George, BC – gone to Moncton, NB – visited Clayoquot Sound to learn about the impact of logging and fishing industries.
• introduced computer-assisted learning in our core Logic course, which allows students to receive immediate feedback on their work rather than waiting for a meeting with the TA or professor;
• introduced two new intensive research experiences as fourth-year courses: our Philosophy Honours Seminar and our Philosophy Honours Workshop. Our students have repeatedly expressed their appreciation for the focussed research experiences they have in these courses.
At the Graduate level we have:
• Revamped our MA and PhD Seminars, focussing on a wide range of professional skills above and beyond those traditionally taught or practiced in a graduate seminar. In the 2011– 12 offering of the PhD Seminar, for instance, the main topics were:
1. Writing for grants/scholarships (e.g., OGS, SSHRC) 2. Writing for the profession (research, presentation, and publication) 3. Designing philosophy courses 4. Preparing for the oral qualifying exam (OQE) 5. Preparing for the job market (e.g., curriculum vitae, cover letters)
These courses fill a gap in the traditional mode of graduate education in Philosophy.
18 5. Modes of delivery Since the time of Socrates it has been by sustained argumentative engagement with others that a philosopher develops his or her skills and ideas. Appropriately, then, we educate our students by developing their skills in interaction with each other, with faculty, and with disciplinary colleagues outside the department. Here we list the particular forms that these interactions take. What is shared among them is that the focus in each case is on sustained, careful argumentative engage- ment. In general, undergraduate and graduate philosophy programs are “delivered” primarily by:
• students doing challenging philosophical reading;
• faculty giving lectures to students;
• students participating in classroom or seminar discussions—in philosophy perhaps more than other programs, discussion participation is highly encouraged and in many cases counts towards significant part of the course grade;
• students writing essays;
• students writing tests or examinations.
These modes are traditional in many respects, and although we do experiment with modifications to these traditional modes, it is their very effectiveness that has sustained the tradition of their use. It is to be expected that a program whose objectives are in good part to build skills in oral and written communication and intellectual engagement pursues those objectives using modes that involve the students doing those very things.
C. Pedagogical and Evaluation Strategies
(a) Methods of assessment Grading of student writing We emphasized above (§B.) that one of our main objectives is to improve students’ philosophical skills, and central among these is:
being able to write an essay that clearly presents a claim, argues in support of it, and addresses possible objections to it.
Accordingly we assess in almost every course—the main exceptions being our logic and Critical Thinking courses—students’ essays of this sort, providing detailed feedback on how to improve. We grade essays on how clearly they make their points; how imaginatively they succeed in proposing a thesis; and how well they respond to possible objections to their thesis.
Grading of students’ contributions to discussion We also emphasized that one of our main ob- jectives in all our programs is to develop students’ ability to:
19 participate actively and respectfully in a discussion of some philosophical issue, considering the relative merits of different arguments and claims that are made.
Accordingly in many of our courses, participation in discussion is a graded part of the over- all course grade. Students are graded on how often they contribute to discussions; how useful their contributions are in moving the discussion along or pushing it in new exploratory di- rections; and how respectful they are in considering the views put forth by other students.
Grading tests and examinations Another of our main objectives is to develop in our students the ability to
understand the philosophical positions and arguments put forward by others, whether in writing or in speech.
Examinations test for these skills especially, as opposed to essays, which are more a locus for creative work. A student who understands an argument or a philosophical position should be able to summarize it and compare it with others, or to explain its strengths and weaknesses. These are the skills that tests and examinations typically test.
(b) Appropriateness of the methods of assessment This point has been addressed, for each of the methods, in the previous section. Each of the methods has a clear link to one of the main program objectives.
D. Measure of Learning Outcomes
(a) Indicators of success in program objectives (undergraduate programs) Measuring outcomes at the undergraduate level is an enduring challenge. We have no exit examina- tion; nor, unlike in the UK, say, is there a nationwide examination by which we could compare the success of our students against that of students in other programs. Nevertheless we are stringent in our assignment of grades, and we believe that the grades that a student receives in their fourth year of the program are a good indication of how well we have succeeded, with that student, in achiev- ing the program’s goals. Many of our students do very well in their final year, although we do not have the capability at present to track or compile those outcomes; the University’s administrative software platform does not support such inquiries by departments. Another good indication of “outcomes” is the success that our students have in applying to graduate school. The department currently does not have a mechanism for tracking what students do after completing any of our undergraduate programs,2 but anecdotally we do know that gradu- ates of our Honours Major program find admission to many graduate programs in philosophy here in Canada and, certainly, in the UK; the US seems less of a draw.
2It is a departmental priority to develop such a system. We plan to have within a year or so an operational database that will help us to stay in contact with, and gather information about, our undergraduate alumni. See be- low, §F.(a).
20 (b) Student course evaluations (undergraduate programs) We present Fall 2011 as a representative semester for the purpose of this section. The following table presents the averages (in each course) of students’ agreement to two statements:
Overall Effective “The instructor was, overall, an effective teacher”
Critical Thinking “The instructor encouraged students to think critically and constructively.”
These were scored on a Likert scale where 6 is the level of highest agreement. In order to prevent identification, course identifications are obscured and course enrolments are given in ranges. (The course evaluations from which these data are taken will be available to the External Assessors.)

(c) Graduate program outcomes We present two tables showing the outcomes for each student to have completed our graduate programs since Fall 2005. Our outcomes from these programs are impressive.
MA outcomes Of the 49 who have graduated from our MA programs since January 2005, 29, or 59%, have gone on to PhD programs (only 6 of these being our own PhD program). Many of the rest are employed in positions requiring advanced degrees.
PhD outcomes Of the 19 students who have completed our PhD program since January 2005, 14, or 74%, are University teachers and of these, 6, or 43% are tenured or tenure-track. This is a fine record for a PhD program in Canada. It compares very well to that of Western University, for example: of the 33 students to have completed their PhD program since Fall 2005, 19, or 58%, are University teachers and of these, 11, or 58% are tenured or tenure-track.3

(d) Degree level objectives (graduate) MA Program The objectives of the program are a) to prepare students for admission into high quality doctoral programs in philosophy, or b) to serve as a terminal degree for students who wish to pursue philosophy beyond the undergraduate level but do not intend to complete a PhD, or c) to provide philosophical training for students in cognate disciplines, who may or may not go on to take further higher degrees in their own area. These three objectives are achieved through a combination of:
• course work, including a breadth requirement achieved through prerequisite courses in logic, value theory, and the history of philosophy; • participation in the two-semester 0.5 credit MA Seminar; • research for, and writing of, a masters thesis or a Guided Research Project; • regular meetings with an advisory committee; • participation in the philosophical life of the Department, such as the speakers’ series and occasional conferences; • teaching assistantships; • other pedagogical training opportunities, such as the teaching practicum (described in the MA Program Regulations, Appendix D).
PhD program The objectives of the PhD program are to prepare candidates for careers as aca- demic researchers and teachers. Graduates will be prepared to direct their own research programs and to publish the results of their research in articles and books in high-quality peer-reviewed journals and presses. They will also be prepared to teach university courses, including graduate courses, not all of which need be in their areas of research specialization. These objectives are achieved through a combination of:
• course work, including a breadth requirement achieved in part through courses in five of eight specified areas of philosophy; • participation in the two-semester 0.5 credit PhD Seminar; • completion of a competency requirement in a second language, formal logic, and/or a relevant non-philosophical skill or methodology;
27 • research for, and writing of, a doctoral thesis; • regular meetings with an advisory committee; • participation in the philosophical life of the Department, such as the speakers’ series and occasional conferences; • oral presentations to the Departmental community; • teaching assistantships, and a student instructorship; • other pedagogical training opportunities, such as the teaching practicum (described in the PhD Program Regulations, Appendix E).
E. Graduate Program Management
(a) Time to completion The Department of Philosophy tracks our students’ progress through the program; this is one of the functions of our Graduate Secretary. We use the semesterly progress reports to record any problems or obstacles that are hindering a student in their progress through the program. Our MA Program Regulations (below, Appendix D) state, “the MA program can normally be completed in four semesters.” Most of our students do complete within five semesters, so we are generally managing to keep things on the prescribed track. In many cases the reason that a thesis defence takes place in the fifth semester rather than the fourth is simply that it is difficult to find a time that fits the schedules of all the members of the Examining Committee. Our Program Regulations (below, Appendix E) state, “The PhD program can be completed in four years (12 semesters).” That being said, usually the degree is not completed in that short a time. The PhD is a much more ambitious degree than the MA and its goal is to prepare graduates for the academic job market, which has become much more competitive in the last 10 years especially— from an already-competitive baseline. This has meant that it is less acceptable now than before to approach the job market with less than the fullest professional preparation. Ten-year PhDs are far from uncommon at even the top PhD programs. It is worth noting that our times to completion are currently in line with those at other strong philosophy PhD programs in Canada: average time to completion at Queen’s University is 5.5 years, at UBC roughly 6 years, at Western 6.3 years and at York University roughly 6 years.4

(b) Quality and availability of graduate supervision Our faculty are high-quality graduate supervisors because they are fully engaged with the research communities we are training our students to join. All of our faculty are active researchers and active participants in their research communities, as is evidenced by their publication records and their professional activity in the form of conference presentations, journal editorships, refereeing work for journals and academic presses, and refereeing for tenure and promotion cases at other universities. Probably the best measure of the quality of our graduate supervision is in terms of the outcomes of students who complete those programs, which we discuss in the next section. As for availability, we have had no problems in recent years finding supervisors for those graduate students we admit, partly because we take supervisory availability into account when doing graduate admissions.
(c) Indicators of faculty, student and program quality Indicators of faculty quality Our faculty are productive researchers, as the information presented in Part II shows: every single member of our graduate faculty is an active researcher, graduate supervisor or member of graduate committees, and publisher. But there are many things reflecting the quality of our faculty that show up in none of the summary tables we present in that section. We are active not only in publishing journal articles and books, and in supervising students, but in giving talks at conferences both in Canada and abroad; refereeing for professional journals and presses; serving as tenure and promotion referees for other universities; serving on editorial boards of journals; organizing conferences; and many other activities that may not show up on CVs. Perusing our faculty’s CVs will repeatedly demonstrate in many of these different ways, and others, that ours is a high-quality faculty. Another good measure of the quality of a philosophy department that has a graduate program is: Who wants to come and work with them on their MA and PhD degrees? And the verdict on this is very clear, since we have a very healthy number of applicants to our programs (see Tables 2 and 3). And those we admit are of high quality, as we discuss in the next section.
Indicators of student quality We have emphasized that admission to our graduate programs is competitive: typically we admit in the neighbourhood of 10% of our applicants. Another indication of the quality of our students is their success in the main external funding competitions, namely the OGS (Ontario Graduate Schol- arships) and SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowships (for the PhD students) or Canada Graduate Scholarships (for the MA students). Here we present the last few years’ records of our students’ performance in these competitions.
29 From Fall 2005 to Summer 2012, our graduate students secured $1,527,807 in external funding, mostly from the three sources just specified. This is a very good record, averaging out to $218,528 per year over those seven years.

Another indication of student quality is the number of publications there have been, of research that students have done while in their MA or PhD program. These are described in the next section.
Publications by students (of work done in program) The following two tables list publications by students of their work done while in program; it does not list publications they go on to do based on work done after completing their programs.

33 Indicators of program quality Over the last several years we have paid a great deal of attention to the structure of our graduate programs. The programs’ regulations, included as Appendices D and E, reflect that contemplation and effort. We refer the reader to those Appendices for the best picture of the quality of our programs (as distinct, we take it, from the quality of the faculty or the students).
Graduate courses; coordination between undergraduate and graduate programs We are asked to show that we offer “sufficient graduate level courses that students will be able to meet the requirement that two-thirds of their course requirements be met through courses at this level.” When choosing which courses to offer we are sensitive to several factors:
• graduate students’ area requirements;
• faculty opportunity to teach graduate courses (ideally at least once every two years);
• possible cross-listing between graduate and undergraduate courses.
We offer Figure 2 to depict three years’ worth of courses, fourth-year-undergraduate and graduate, to illustrate how we have chosen courses with these constraints in mind.

Some examples:
• As Figure 2, above, shows, we have offered one graduate course, PHIL 6740, Philosophy of Biology, for two years running, which was jointly taught by our Professor Stefan Linquist and Professor Ryan Gregory of Integrative Biology.
• Two of our faculty are jointly appointed: Professor Donald Dedrick is jointly appointed with Psychology and Professor Maya Goldenberg is jointly appointed with the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences program.
• Recently our PhD and MA Seminars have had visits from Library staff to provide insights on using library resources in research.
F. Future Developments
(a) Plans to improve our undergraduate programs Like all departments at the University of Guelph our department has a standing Curriculum Com- mittee charged with responsibility for the structure and content of our undergraduate programs. At present the committee is working on the following projects.
• A proposal to make our Honours Major simpler in structure and thereby easier to understand and navigate. This is part of our effort to increase the number of students enrolled in that program.
• We will look into participating in a project with the National Center for Academic Transfor- mation (NCAT). Our University has revamped several large-enrolment introductory courses using NCAT’s methodology and our Curriculum Committee will attend a November 2012 information session about their approach, in order to see whether that might be of use to us.
• We will explore the possibility of participating in a Philosophy, Politics and Economics program.
• We will look into ways of improving the Ethics and the Life Sciences program which cur- rently has low enrolment. One theory is that it is under-subscribed because med-school- bound students don’t have room for 5 credits in their schedule. We might consider making this a Certificate, which requires only 2.5 credits.
Longer-term, we plan to re-think our undergraduate curriculum as a whole, not restricting ourselves to thinking of the program as having to choose from among those courses we happen to have on the books. The first steps in this process are as follows.
36 • Do in-depth surveys with different types of undergraduates: our majors; those who take our courses but are not majors; those who don’t take our courses but are in topically related courses, etc. The point of the surveys is to find out what demand there might be, that we are not meeting, or could meet better, with our course offerings.
• Along with the surveys we plan to have discussion meetings with many small groups of students to probe their opinions about philosophy and about our offerings. We think that valuable information will emerge from these meetings.
• After finding out what students think, we will then systematically find out what our faculty think about the course offerings in their areas. Of course this sort of opinion gets voiced in meetings, but in a special focussed meeting opinions can emerge when solicited that might very well not have been voiced otherwise.
These are the first, preliminary steps in a re-thinking of our curriculum. It will take at least two years to do this with the care and input that it requires, but doing this is a central departmental priority.
(b) Plans to improve our graduate programs Over the last decade we have paid a great deal of attention to our MA and PhD programs and they are now thriving. Our recent innovations, described above (§B.(b)4.), have contributed to this. Nevertheless there are areas of possible improvement. We have discussed plans to:
• propose a Centre for Global Ethics, which would serve as a research hub for faculty and grad students at Guelph who work on issues related to north-south inequality, migration, human rights, development ethics, multiculturalism—generally, ethical issues related to globaliza- tion;
• advocate for funding for departmental post-doc positions, possibly with some amount of teaching attached, as a way of bringing fresh voices into the department from philosophical centres elsewhere;
• advocate for improved funding for our International graduate students, who presently cope with tuitions far higher than those we charge our Canadian students.
Part II The Faculty
As was explained above (§A.(a)), our department was founded in the late 1960s with a young complement that aged as a cohort, resulting in several retirements coming in quick succession in the late 1990s and early 2000s. We have handled the ensuing transition successfully: all of our hires during that time (indeed, all of our department’s faculty) are active researchers; almost all of
37 them have already supervised graduate students; about half of them have already won significant external funding—which is a remarkable record given how competitive the SSHRC process is.

(c) Fields and graduate supervisions The “fields” we list in Table 16 are the ones approved by the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies in their 2009 review of the MA and PhD programs: Continental, Social and Political Philosophy; History of Western Philosophy; and Philosophy of Science, Mind and Language. In several cases a faculty member is listed as having more than one field, which is not uncommon in philosophy. Our faculty are distributed rather evenly among the three program fields.

(d) External funding and publications In Table 17 under “Funding” we include “4A” ratings on SSHRC Standard Research Grants, since that rating indicates that SSHRC judged the proposed research project as worthy of funding al- though it had insufficient funds at its disposal to support it. SSHRC’s competitions are quite difficult, e.g. in the 2012 results for Philosophy the rate of funded applications was only 26.5%.

C. Community.
182 Since becoming a faculty member at the University of Guelph, I have regularly been involved in a variety of activities in Toronto that have to do with advancing cultural and intellectual causes in the Toronto community. Currently (2010), I am organizing two regular cultural activities at a downtown Gallery/Café, (Naco Gallery Café). Once a month, I organize "Story and Song Night," at which a speaker narrates a story from the traditions of the great world-religions, which is followed by discussion and then a set of live music by Toronto musicians. Once I week, I organize a jazz-music series, again showcasing Toronto musicians. Both events are ones in which I try to bring together community members, musicians, and academics, on the assumption that these groups have a lot to say to each other but frequently do not otherwise come into communication with each other.

1. Books 1a. Edited Books i) The Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought, Volume Two: The Twentieth Century and Beyond, ed. Andrew Bailey, Samantha Brenna, Will Kymlicka, Jacob Levy, Alex Sager and Clark Wolf. Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, October 2008. 900 pages. [This is a
188 6 comprehensive edited anthology of social and political philosophy, with a substantial rubric accompanying many of the selections. The most substantial introductory essays in the volume were modified, by Bailey, from First Philosophy; one new introductory essay was also written by Bailey; on de Beauvoir.] ii) The Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought, Volume One: From Plato to Nietzsche, ed. Andrew Bailey, Samantha Brenna, Will Kymlicka, Jacob Levy, Alex Sager and Clark Wolf. Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, July 2008. 1110 pages. [This is a comprehensive edited anthology of social and political philosophy, with a substantial rubric accompanying many of the selections. The most substantial introductory essays in the volume were modified (sometimes extensively), by Bailey, from First Philosophy; four new introductory essays were also written by Bailey; on Augustine, Machiavelli, Rousseau and Wollstonecraft.] iii) First Philosophy: Fundamental Readings and Problems in Philosophy, ed. Andrew Bailey. Peterborough, ON: Broadview Press, 2002. 966 pages. [This is an edited anthology of classic pieces of philosophy, with a substantial rubric written by the editor (roughly 1/5 of the total page count, or 200 pages).] In July 2004 Broadview Press issued a three-volume edition of First Philosophy: Volume I: Values and Society (315 pages); Volume II: Knowledge and Reality (295 pages); and Volume III: God, Mind, and Freedom (373 pages). Each of these volumes contains one additional selection, and some of the editorial material had to be reworked for the new format. In March 2006 Broadview Press issued a concise edition of First Philosophy (593 pages), together with a companion website. I wrote additional material (roughly ten new pages) for three readings for this edition. The other editions continue to be available as well. In April 2011 Broadview Press issued a second edition of First Philosophy (970 pages), a second edition of the three-volume edition, a second edition of the concise version, and a companion website. This edition includes a dozen new readings, with new introductions and notes, and appendices of philosophical puzzles and terms. I co-wrote this additional material with Prof. Robert Martin, professor emeritus of Dalhousie University.

208 E. Work in Progress
I am writing a 7000 word state-of-the art review of colour language research for Routledge. For all of the conferences I attended in 2012 I have been invited to submit a journal article or book chapter for peer or editorial review. I have decided to submit papers based on [a] the Progress in Colour Studies presentation and [b] the Gossip Conference presentation. The piece for Progress in Colour Studies (an invited but refereed book chapter, though I intend to produce at least one related journal article) is especially important to me, as it will explore the possibility that psychologist Susan Carey’s idea of what she calls “core cognition” can be used to illuminate, and possibly solve some of the outstanding problems in the colour categorization literature I am familiar with, and considered to be an expert in.More interestingly, I think the attempt to view colour through the lens of core cognition may reveal difficulties with Carey’s conception of core cognition itself. This would be work of more general psychological and philosophical interest than the niche-market of colour categorization. A full-length collection of papers on the foundations of cognitive science, with original introductions (originally planned for 2011) is still in the works. My co-author/editor, Guelph Ph.D. graduate Brad Richards and I aim to complete a book proposal in the fall or winter, 2012 or 2013.

225 In my current research I am developing what I call an interest-relative theory of justification. My ideas on this subject have evolved over the last few years, and have clear connections to the issues with which I have been preoccupied with in my philosophical research to date. An important component of this research has been the exploration of the philosophical significance of sexual violence against women. My previous work in this area has been focused on illustrating the epistemic significance of difference by looking at this particular community of knowers as a case study. In various papers I have argued that in the experience and aftermath of a traumatic event like sexual violence a survivor formulates what become for her deeply held beliefs about the world – some general, for instance about the preponderance of sexual violence, and some specific, for instance about the character of her assailant. Statistics show that these sorts of beliefs tend to be true. However, as I have argued, there are considerable psychological barriers that make it difficult for survivors to retrieve the reasons for why they hold the beliefs that they do, qua survivor. Moreover, in the case that they can access these reasons, there are social and political obstacles that make it difficult for survivors to stand behind them. Thus, what we have here are subjects who have certain reliably formed, true beliefs about which they have deep conviction, but which, for one reason or another, they have trouble defending. Thus, at least according to the traditional analysis of knowledge as justified true belief, survivors’ traumatically formed beliefs do not count as knowledge. My most recent work on this subject, entitled “The Limits of Internalism: A Case Study,” was published in 2010, in Dialogue. In that paper I use the case of survivors of sexual violence to shed light on the debate between epistemic internalism and externalism. According to the traditional internalist understanding of knowledge as justified true belief, an individual must have a ‘cognitive grasp’ of what it is that makes her true belief justified in order for that belief to count as knowledge. This conception of knowledge points to a significant epistemic barrier for survivors of sexual violence. The reason for this is that according to our best theoretical understandings of the post-traumatic experience, survivors of sexual violence often have a difficult time recollecting the details of their own traumatic experiences, either initially or indefinitely, hence a fortiori cannot access them as a reason for why they hold the beliefs that they do (qua survivor). In contrast to the traditional view, the epistemic externalist claims that an individual can have a justified belief even if that individual cannot defend that belief, so long as it was formed through a reliable belief-forming mechanism. I think it is a conceptual confusion to see this externalist condition as a condition of justification, but nevertheless the underlying idea is right; it shows that to qualify as knowledge, what is required is that our true beliefs about the world be non-accidentally true for us. This work on the debate between the internalist and externalist has helped me to understand better the concept of justification and the role that it plays in a theory of knowledge, and my recent work is focussed on this concept. My main concern in this work has been to tease out the connections between epistemic justification and epistemic responsibility in order to capture the inherent subjectivity of justification. I hope to achieve this through what I call an ‘interest-relative’ theory of justification, which I call modified evidentialism, according to which S has a justified belief that P at time t if and only if S’s evidence at time t supports P in proportion to S’s interest in P. I have developed this theory of justification in three recent papers. The first one, called “Testimony and Epistemic Risk: The Dependence Account,” I have recently submitted to Social Epistemology after revising it in light of comments which I received from Erkenntnis, where my paper was under review for 19 months (from June 2010 until March 2012); the second one, entitled “Interests, Disagreement, and Epistemic Risk,” is currently under review at Dialectica, where it has received a ‘revise and resubmit’; and the third paper, called “Modified Evidentialism: Interests, Justification and Epistemic Virtue” is currently under review at The Canadian Journal of Philosophy. In each of these papers I argue against strict evidentialism, which, I argue, fails to capture the uniquely subjective standpoint of believers and as a result fails to provide us with the tools necessary to apply its own epistemic norms. In its place I develop an interest-relative theory of justification which I call modified evidentialism. In the testimony paper I illustrate how rethinking justification as interest-relative helps us to better understand the dilemma between the credulist and the reductivist. In the disagreement paper I Page 8 of 10
226 argue that an interest-relative theory of justification helps to explain our commonly shared intuition that reasonable disagreement among peers is possible. In the paper on modified evidentialism, I develop my interest-relative theory of justification in more detail. In this paper I take interests as fixed and argue that adjusting our confidence in a proposition in the right way, given our interests, is fine-tuned through the exercise of intellectual virtue, in particular the virtue of epistemic conscientiousness. This theory refocuses epistemic responsibility in the subject and by locating agency in the cultivation of epistemic virtue it also provides a handy solution to the problem of doxastic voluntarism, insofar as the development of our epistemic virtue guides our responsiveness to reason. In my most recent paper, which I am in the midst of writing, I explore further this idea that we have control over our beliefs insofar as we have control over the development of our intellectual virtues by looking at the notion of epistemic akrasia. In the intellectual context, the akratic believer freely and deliberately believes something which she judges she ought not to believe. There are ways of interpreting epistemic akrasia which render the concept incoherent (as akin to a version of Moore’s Paradox), but I argue that this idea of akratic believing can help us understand better the connection between epistemic justification and epistemic responsibility, by showing us the respects in which we can control what we believe. In addition to this strictly philosophical work, I have spent the last two years finishing and revising a book, a 170-page trade monograph, which is titled One Night in Paris: Thinking Through the Unthinkable, A Story of Rape and Recovery. This book is in part a memoir, and it tells the story of my experience as a rape survivor, but it uses my personal experience as a way into exploring the psychological, philosophical and neurobiological consequences of traumatic experiences like rape. In the book I look at the ways in which psychological trauma is both influential and informational. I am hoping to publish the book soon, and I am actively looking for a suitable publisher for it.

1999, School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell University, 14 June-23 July, Ithaca, NY. Participated and completed with distinction a seminar entitled, “Democracy’s Other” in the 23rd Summer Session of the School taught by Professor Seyla Benhabib.
II. Organized Conferences and Panels 1) I organized and hosted the International Conference in Social and Political Philosophy at the University of Guelph (November13-14, 2004) on the following two themes: 1) The Practice of Law-making and the
11
300
Problem of Difference, 2) Law and Morality: Hart-Devlin Debate Today. For the first theme I had the following four key note speakers: James Tully, Will Kymlicak, Jeremy Webber and Jeremy Waldron; and eight discussants/commentators: Thomas McCarthy, Charles Taylor, Douglas Moggach, Michel Rosenfeld, Simone Chambers, Melissa Williams, Courtney Young, and Kenneth Baynes. For the second theme, which was done in collaboration with the Law Commission of Canada we had Jeremy Waldron and Jeremy Webber enacting the Hart-Devlin debate. This event was sponsored by The Office of Research of the University of Guelph, The office of Research of McMaster University, College of Arts and College of Applied and Social Sciences of the University of Guelph, departments of philosophy of the University of Guelph, McMaster, and Wilfrid Laurier University, departments of Political Science, Anthropology and Sociology, and the School of Theater and English Studies of the University of Guelph, the office of the provost f the University of Guelph and the Law Commission of Canada. I collected the papers and edited into a volume that was published by The University of Wales Press in 2007.
2) I organized four panels—two at the CPA in 2001 in Quebec City, one at The American Sociological Association in 2001 in Anaheim, CA, and one at the last World Congress of Philosophy in 2003 in Istanbul, turkey. The panels brought together highly respected theorists such as Thomas McCarthy, William Rehg, and Andrew Arato.
E. WORK IN PROGRESS: My research interests during this period (2010-2012) were Habermas, the role of religion in politics, and Iran. I was successful, first, in sharing some of my findings and insight on these topics in major conferences, and second, in publishing the improved and revised versions of three of these presentations.
During this period I also completed a draft of the Textbook in social and political philosophy with OUP. After receiving the reviewers’ feedback, I invited my colleague Monique Deveaux to join me as a co-editor. We finished the revisions in August and hope that after final changes in the next few months the book can go to print in early 2013.
So, in terms of the research objectives I defined for myself two years ago, I am at the end of a research cycle—having obtained these objectives—and at the start of new one. For the next couple of years I see myself being concerned with the topic of the possibility of strong and healthy democracy in the condition of vigorous diversity. Continuing with my work on Iran’s democratic movement, I am closely following the recent development in the Middle East called the Arab Spring in the hope of writing a comparative piece.

C. COMMUNITY: -2004-2012, I was a Founding member of the Iranian-Canadian Community of Guelph and am a member of its executive committee. The Community is a cultural organization, whose activity is aimed at promoting greater understanding of Iranians culture in Canada, and at facilitating their integration into the Canadian culture. Since 2004 we had been in the process of writing a constitution and advertising ICCG by way of organizing various cultural events. In early 2006 we registered ICCG as a non-for-profit organization. -At a wider level of the Iranian Diaspora in Canada and in the world, I have been politically active along with other Iranian academics to support the democratic protest movement in Iran. As a part of our letter-writing campaign, I Co-authored a letter with a group of Iranian-Canadian academics to the director of NSERC questioning his decision to give a keynote address to an “academic conference” organized by the Iranian Embassy. (The letter had an immediate impact with the director cancelling his address and the Embassy postponing the conference. Both the letter and its impact were reported by Mclean’s:

Fall 2005 Conference Organizer
The Central Canada Seminar for the Study of Early Modern Philosophy, held at the University of Guelph, October 15-16 This international conference consisted of nine talks by international speakers and attracted abstracts from Canada, the U.S. and England. I was the chief organizer for this conference, aided by Byron Williston from Wilfrid Laurier University and Richard Arthur from McMaster University. They contributed time reviewing and short-listing submitted abstracts, organizing the program, and chairing sessions at the conference. My contributions, as chief organizer, include all of the above, as well as room-booking, liaising with speakers, food and beverages and organizing the conference banquet. Please find the conference poster in the ‘service’ section of this file.
2002-2003 Philosophy Club Liaison I was appointed to revive the undergraduate philosophy club. To this end I met with an interim student committee and organized an information session. I also met with the appointed student committee once they had been elected and was an advisor regarding their role vis-à-vis the department. I organized a faculty speaker series for the club, in the interests of familiarizing the undergraduates with the research work of the department’s faculty. It was well-attended and very successful. The speakers were: Andrew Bailey, Mark McCullough and David Castle.

Course Website Development Grant Award: PHIL 2030DE Philosophy of Medicine.
In collaboration with Dr. Andrew Bailey, Chair, Department of Philosophy, University of Guelph, I proposed the creation of a Philosophy of Medicine Distance Education course website for the University of Guelph. The grant proposal was successful, and during the 2010-11 academic year, I undertook the development, from scratch, of this complete course website, which included instructional materials, the design of discussion modules, and practice quizzes. The content of the site is oriented toward Bioethics. The course will run periodically as a Distance Education course for the Department of Philosophy.
Course Website Development Grant Award: PHIL 1010DE Introductory Philosophy: Social and Political Issues
In collaboration with Dr. Andrew Bailey, Chair, Department of Philosophy, University of Guelph, I proposed the creation of an Introductory Philosophy: Social and Political Issues Distance Education course website for the University of Guelph.

Teaching Development
January 2010, University of Toronto, New Media III Workshop. In this workshop participants analyzed and learned how to apply multimodal alternatives in classroom presentations, using powerpoint, video clips, UTube, sound clips, images, and webpages. Demonstrations and hands-on practice in using these technologies, including importing digital resources and using storyboarding to plan and compose presentations. I will use this in applied ethics classes to incorporate video clips from the evening news relevant to ethical issues into powerpoint presentations, and in aesthetics classes that require visuals.
December 2008, University of Toronto at Scarborough, Making Multiple Choice Questions Work for You. Seminar instructed faculty on how to create multiple choice questions that test students’ higher order learning capacities, rather than merely memorization. Seminar was taught by a psychologist and focused on how to design questions with typical student psychology in mind. I use multiple-choice questions in some high enrolment applied ethics classes (although it is never the sole method of evaluation).
372 Victoria I. Burke--CV 11 11
May 2004, Carleton University, Office of Instructional Techologies. Powerpoint Seminar: Learned the use of Powerpoint. I am now fully conversant with Powerpoint and use it in many of my classes, especially those with high enrolment, and in Aesthetics courses where visuals are key to the learning experience.
Accessibility Training
February 2010: Completed four module (3 hour) online course (required of all Ryerson University faculty) in accessibility training. Course taught university employees, including professors, the appropriate norms for engaging with disabled persons. This included the appropriate manner to engage with persons using various assistive devices, service animals, and assistants. It taught how to be alert to barriers within the institution to people with disabilities, and the types of solutions considered by the government to be appropriate. Completed the (1 hour) course for the second time (as required) by the University of Guelph.
T.A. Supervision
I have regularly supervised T.A.’s beginning in 1993 when I taught my first large lecture class as a graduate student. Normally, the T.A.’s do marking only.
During the 2008-09 academic year at University of Toronto at Scarborough, I supervised a total of 12 T.As, 8 of whom conducted tutorials for Bioethics and Introduction to Ethics (applied ethics) on a weekly basis, as well as marking all the student work in these high enrolment courses. There were no overwork grievances from the unionized T.A.’s. Responsibilities included management of T.A.’s, reviewing the tutorial sections and providing instructions with respect to marking.
Student Volume
I typically process approx. 180 students per semester. During the 2008-09 academic year, while full-time at the University of Toronto at Scarborough, I processed 600 students for the year.
Letters of Recommendation for Students
In addition to teaching related support of student learning, I generally write 3-5 letters of recommendation per year for students who are applying for advanced degree programs, jobs or scholarships.
Semesters Abroad Fall 1992, Tuebingen, Germany, thesis research Summer 1991, Berlin, Germany, German language study Summer 1989, Lausanne, Switzerland, and Annecy, France, French language study Summer 1974, Nagoya, Japan, LABO high school cultural exchange program (lived with a Japanese family for the summer)

Professional Activity
Participant, Jackman Humanities Institute Working Group, Berkshire (“Big Berks”) Conference of Women Historians to meet at University of Toronto in 2014; my participation in working group due to forthcoming paper on Hegel and the history of marriage to be presented at the conference, “The Substance of Ethical Recognition: Hegel’s Antigone and the Irreplaceability of the Brother,” New German Critique: An Interdisciplinary Journal of German Studies. Forthcoming, Issue #118, Winter 2013. The working group will meet to discuss women’s history periodically during the 2012-13 academic year.
Guelph Mercury interview, October 2011 Interviewed by a reporter for the Guelph Mercury on the ethics and legal status of abortion rights, and the history of such rights, which are rooted in the concept of privacy. The article, which presented both pro- choice and pro-life views of the moral status of abortion, appeared in the October 22, 2011, issue of the Guelph Mercury.
Kenyon College, February 2002 Co-organised, with another female faculty member, a panel discussion on “Women in Philosophy.” The panel brought together three faculty members and one graduate student from Ohio State University, Kenyon College, Duquesne University, and the University of Notre Dame to discuss, before an audience of Kenyon College students and faculty, the unique experiences of women in the discipline of philosophy, as well as what obstacles and challenges they might face. The panel discussion was followed by questions from the audience and a reception. My primary role in co-organizing this event lay in securing all the necessary funding from the administration, primarily from the Office of the Provost and the Office of the President.
