Education Week has unveiled the 2023 Rick Hess Straight Up (RHSU) Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings, which ranks 200 of the nation's top university-based scholars who had the biggest influence on educational practice and policy in the last year. Three Brown University Department of Education professors and one faculty affiliate are named and were chosen from a set of more than 20,000 eligible scholars in the U.S.:
- Matthew A. Kraft, Associate Professor of Education and Economics
- Lindsay C. Page, Annenberg Associate Professor of Education Policy
- Jonathan E. Collins, Mary Tefft and John Hazen White, Sr. Assistant Professor of Political Science, Public Policy, and Education
- Susanna Loeb, Adjunct Professor of Education
To make it on the list each scholar was scored in nine categories including their Google scholar score, book points, highest Amazon ranking, syllabus points, newspaper mentions, education press mentions, web mentions, congressional record mentions, and Twitter score.
