Professor of History at Occidental College and Associate, UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Horowitz is the Editor-in-Chief of the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (N.Y.: Charles Scribner's Sons, 2005), an Outstanding Reference Source as awarded by the American Library Association. She is the author of the book, Seeds of Virtue and Knowledge (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1998), winner of the Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural History of the American Philosophical Society. The book, on the image of the mind growing as a garden, interprets diverse applications of "semina virtutum et scientarum" as an epistemology, a strategy, a paradigm of science or folk psychology, a literary interetext, a metaphor related to visual images, a language of vegetative growth, as well as a continuing controversy on assessing humanity.
