As a graduate student, her dissertation is entitled “The Boundaries of the Conflict: narrative, violence and displacement on the Italo-Yugoslav frontier.” While at WAPPP, Smith worked on a project that considers the link between UN post-war recovery efforts and the global problem of trafficking of women. This project built upon her decade-long work on the international human rights and development fields with institutions such as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Mission to Bosnia, the USAID Eastern European Office of Urban Programs, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women. Smith also holds a Master of International Affairs in Economic and Political Development/Eastern European Studies from SIPA, Columbia University.return to top
