Cynthia E. Coburn is a professor at Northwestern's School of Education and Social Policy. Coburn studies the relationship between instructional policy and teachers' classroom practices in urban schools.

In 2011, Coburn was awarded the Early Career Award from the American Educational Research Association in recognition of her contributions to the field of educational research in the first decade of her career. Coburn has a BA in philosophy from Oberlin College, and a MA in Sociology and a PhD in Education from Stanford University.
