is among 24 scholars selected as 2024 Fellows by the American Educational Research Association. Horn is professor of mathematics education at Vanderbilt .
Horn鈥檚 research on teacher learning lies at the intersection of mathematics education, learning sciences, and the sociology of teachers鈥� work. She examines classroom practices that engage the most students in high quality mathematics education and the ways in which school environments, communities, educators, and policies shape the possibilities of instruction.
鈥淎t the heart of Lani鈥檚 work is a sincere desire to improve mathematics education for all students, especially for those historically marginalized by education systems. The AERA Fellowship reflects the impact of her work not only on the field of education research but on the instructional practices of countless educators. I congratulate her on this distinct and most deserved honor,鈥� said , Patricia and Rodes Hart Dean of Education and Human Development.
In 2023, Horn was appointed vice chair of the U.S. National Commission on Mathematics Instruction. Her most recent book, co-authored with Brette Garner of the University of Denver, is Teacher Learning of Ambitious and Equitable Mathematics: A Sociocultural Perspective (Routledge, 2022).
