Education Week has unveiled the 2024 "Rick Hess Straight Up" (RHSU) Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings, an annual exercise that spotlights the top 200 education scholars who move ideas from academic journals into the national conversation in the last year. Using eight publicly available metrics, Hess calculated how much university-based academics contributed to public discussions of education.
Three Brown University Department of Education professors 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
- John P. Papay, Associate Professor of Education and Economics, Director of Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University
