 Christi M. Smith is a post-doctoral researcher at Ohio State University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of race and ethnicity, social movements, politics and education.

In other projects, she examines the emergence and durability of new organizational forms, specifically colleges for African Americans and women (with Amia Foston) and schoolbuilding as reconstruction strategy for social conflict in Afghanistan as negotiated by international NGOs, military and local politicians.
