I have been thinking a lot recently about the fact certain names always pop up when people cite research in education and - as lovely as these people are - it always seems odd because they are usually not the leading person in their field and they are almost always... men. So...

... here are a few female researchers who really should be talked about more in education. There are loads more, please add to the thread!

Literacy: @ReadOxford @annecastles @Kathy_Rastle Jane Oakhill @ricketts_lara @lilacCourt Maggie Snowling, Sarah McGeown (and loads more!)

Psychology/Neuroscience: Sue Gathercole, @ekfarran @DrAnnaWeighall Barbara Oakley, ELIZABETH Bjork, @sjblakemore @deevybee @SaraBCam Ilina Singh, Gaia Scerif

Behaviour/Mental health/wellbeing: @Tamsin_J_Ford @drlindagraham Essi Viding, Wendy Sims-Schouten, Alice Jones

Pedagogy: @BeckyFrancis7 Pam Grossman, Harriet Tenanbaum @SamJPsych @vmurphyox Ludovica Serratrice

There really are loads more, I just wanted to get a thread started so people can add more and we can get more of these awesome researchers out there! So add away...
