Snezana Lawrence is a mathematical historian and mathematics educator, and has been working in higher education for the past 15 years. Prior to that, Snezana was a teacher and teacher trainer in the English school-system. She was a lead consultant for the Prince's Teaching Institute for Mathematics 2009-2018. Currently Snezana works as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Design Engineering at Middlesex University, London, teaching mathematics, mathematics history, and risk. Snezana's plan for the next few years it to write more popular history of mathematics books and to work more with teachers and people interested in identifying their local history of mathematics in libraries and museums where they live, across Europe. She was the Chair of the History and Pedagogy of Mathematics International Study Group for 2020-2024.
