听is a Professor of International Economic Law at the School of Law at the University of Warwick. She is a graduate of the University of Wales, where she received her LL.B., and the University of Leicester, where she obtained her LL.M. and Ph.D. Her research interests are in international economic law, particularly the law of the World Trade Organization (WTO). She has published widely on WTO law and is an expert on international agricultural trade, and has spoken widely about her research in the United States, Europe, and East Asia. As a consequence of her work, she was invited to become a member of the editorial board of the journal听Jurisprudence听and was also appointed as an expert on international economic law to the Research Foundation Flanders.

Smith was first introduced to James Boyd White鈥檚 work when she was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Minnesota in 2008. She was inspired to use White鈥檚 work as a methodology for her own work on international agricultural trade regulation, arguing that pro-environmental reforms were never fully incorporated into trade agreements due to differences in use of language between environmentalists and trade lawyers, and that this difference must be abridged. She has also edited a symposium on Law and Language published by Oxford University Press, and is currently working on a book on food security in international economic law, which also incorporates White鈥檚 ideas about the power of language and the use of speech.

Smith is the Founding and now Co-Director of the WTO Scholar鈥檚 Forum, an initiative designed to bring together experts on the law of the World Trade Organization to discuss topical issues. She recently completed a two-year project entitled听Food Security, Foreign Direct Investment and Multilevel Governance in Weak States听with support from a grant from the Swiss National Fund. Before joining the University of Warwick, Smith previously taught at the University College of London, the University of Sheffield, and the University of Leicester.

Professor Smith will be discussing the work of James Boyd White at this event.
