Here's my original Starter Pack of professors, researchers, and communicators of education policy and economics. It's almost full but I'll shift some of the writers to the 1st pack above, so let me know if you're an ed policy or econ of ed professor/researcher who belongs here. go.bsky.app/GHJzy4L

I've set up a Starter Park for academic economists in Ireland and those abroad with a strong Irish connection. Keen to add more, esp PhDs and postdocs, so let me know! (Women make up 50% of the 80 academic economists in Dublin but are a far smaller share of this list so far... Help me fix that!)
