The GovLab’s Open Governance Twitter Lists

To help map the field and provide a means for monitoring important developments, the GovLab has created a curated collection of Twitter lists featuring key open governance players and thinkers.
The full Open Governance list includes over 150 must-follow accounts from across sectors and discipline areas. Twitter users can follow the full list and/or keep tabs on important players working within the GovLab’s three core lines of inquiry, or levers of open: Smarter Governance – Getting Expertise In, Open Data Governance – Pushing Data Out and Shared Governance – Sharing Responsibility. Additionally, we have further categorized the members of the full list based on individuals’ specific discipline or interest area, including: General Open Governance, Legal and Policy Barriers to Open Governance, Technology, Innovation, Policy, Business and Economics, and Behavioral Science and Social Psychology. Finally, Twitter users can subscribe to the GovLab’s Network of Collaborators list, featuring individuals working directly with the GovLab to improve people’s lives by changing how we govern.
While the GovLab Twitter lists already contain a wide variety of key academics, practitioners and government decision-makers working in this burgeoning field, we recognize that there are many voices that we may have missed. Take a look at the individuals we’ve identified so far, and either tweet us your suggested additions @TheGovLab or leave them in the comments below.
Finally, we invite you also to subscribe to The GovLab Digest — a weekly compilation of  the main findings, views and developments in opening governance shared every Friday.
