You can remind people to add your post to their #Bookmarks so they can reference it from time to time without having to #search through all your toots.

@KristinKim Ah, that's a good idea! I hate feeling like I'm spamming people, but it gets updated and changes a lot, so it makes sense to check occasionally. Thanks!

@brenton_peterson Amazing! Is there a subfield one? Comparativists? Just checking since I've jumped in.

@AdairCoDems No, not at the moment. Soon (in a couple of days) it will be filterable by keyword, thanks to improvements made by others (the sociologists who designed the version I ripped off). But not quite yet.

Subfield is a good idea, though I hesitate to just presumptuously fill in subfields on everyone's behalf...

@brenton_peterson Yes! I imagine that would be a difficult task. I didn't know if multiple lists had already begun and not integrated. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!

@brenton_peterson This is a list for people who work in academia in polsci, not those who have that education but e.g. work in politics (like me) - right?

In any case: Thanks, great resource!

@anneroth Yes, intended for PhD students and professors, etc. engaged in Poli Sci research. Though I think if you're engaged in academic research outside academia, that's totally fine. That's where I fit in, anyway.

There's also no reason someone couldn't start a similar list for people working in actual public policy using the same structure:
