In 2007, she co-edited a collection called Mathematical Knowledge with Alexander Paseau and Michael Potter, which was published by Oxford University Press,[2] and, in 2010, she published a monograph called Mathematics and Reality, again with Oxford University Press. In Mathematics and Reality, Leng defends mathematical fictionalism.[3] Leng joined the University of York in 2012, where she is now a professor.[1]
