Is experimental philosophy an area of specialization?

Brian Leiter’s blog, Leiter Reports, has explained that his advisory board will not add “experimental philosophy” to the specialty rankings. Although I am sympathetic with Leiter and the advisory board’s decision, I believe that the decision should be reversed in future Philosophical Gourmet Reports. What I want to suggest here is that the advisory board consider adding a more inclusive heading to the specialty rankings, i.e., “philosophical methodology” or “meta-philosophy”, and that this heading capture under its heading experimental philosophy. By doing so, the report will be more inclusive, rather than less inclusive, and it will promote an area of study that distinguishes philosophy from other academic disciplines.
