Leone Burton Fund

leone

Leone Burton was Professor of Science and Mathematics Education at the University of Birmingham from 1992 – 2001, then Honorary Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London until her death in 2007. Leone’s research agenda was visibly driven by her pioneering concern for social justice, notably with improving opportunities for girls to participate and achieve in mathematics.

The Leone Burton fund was been set up in her memory, to support doctoral students in mathematics education, a cause very close to Leone’s heart.

If you want to find out more about Leone, these two obituaries describe her contribution to mathematics education research and to encouraging young researchers:
