Bobby J. Smith II

I am a social scientist and scholar of Black agricultural and food studies in the Department of African American Studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research agenda explores the question: How have Black people’s historical and contemporary relationships with agriculture and food shaped their lives and society?
