Mrs Charlotte Lighter

I have worked at the Open University since 2016 as a central academic and tutor on Mathematics Education modules: Mathematical Thinking in Schools, Learning and Doing Geometry and Learning and Doing Algebra. 

I am currently the deputy Equity Diversity and Inclusion Lead for the school of Mathematics and Statistics. I have also held the position of External Engagement Lead, organising events for schools and the public, such as the Aperiodic tiling exhibition: Aperiodic tilings online exhibition | School of Mathematics and Statistics and producing interactive apps such as Code Break: Could you be a code breaker? | OpenLearn - Open University

My research interests include mathematics commmunication, engaged research and epistemic justice in mathematics education. 

I have previously worked as a tutor for the University of Bedfordshire on their Applied Education degree, teaching mathematical problem solving and mathematics education. I have also worked as a secondary mathematics teacher in schools in Bristol, Oxford and Madrid.
