On January 4, 2024, Education Week released the 2024 Rick Hess Straight Up Edu-Scholar Public Influence Rankings. Deborah Loewenberg Ball was again included on the list of 200 university-based scholars in the U.S. who are doing the most to influence educational policy and practice.
The list is intended to reflect both a scholar's larger body of work and their impact on the public discourse last year. The purpose of the list is to recognize scholarship that impacts the real world and encourage universities to invest in this meaningful work.
More information about the rankings and the full list of included scholars are available here.
