How were these rankings generated? AcademicInfluence.com employs its proprietary InfluenceRanking Engine software to find the thought leaders in the field, those whom others consult for their expert writing, research, and wisdom. More than 100 names are ranked among these three academic disciplines--and several other fields are ranked for inquiring minds to explore.
"Our mission is to connect learners to leaders," says Dr. Jed Macosko, academic director of AcademicInfluence.com and professor of physics at Wake Forest University. "And that begins with identifying who those leaders are."
"The team at AcademicInfluence.com believes that anyone who wants to grow in knowledge and wisdom must begin with reliable sources," says Macosko. "By listing the top minds in anthropology, economics, and political science, we bring those sources to you and to anyone who wants to learn what's happening in the disciplines that are informing our future."
In addition to the rankings, Dr. Macosko has conducted video interviews with more than 30 academic leaders, including Paul Krugman, Herman Daly, and Steve Keen (Economics); Don Green, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, and Norman Finkelstein (Political Science); and Marshall Sahlins, Nancy Scheper-Hughes, and Tom Boellstorff (Anthropology). For the rapidly growing list of these enlightening discussions, visit AcademicInfluence.com Interviews.
"It has been my pleasure to talk with these brilliant leaders in their fields of study, and gain insights into how they got their starts, what they have learned from their research, and where they think their field is headed. I fully believe that anyone who wants to learn more about anthropology, economics, and political science will benefit from the insights of these amazing people."
