She specialises in British political, cultural, and gender history between 1660–1760, with notable expertise in court culture, military history, and early modern women writers such as Mary Astell. Her research bridges historical analysis with interdisciplinary interests in medieval science and vision science.
Dr Smith holds a Philip Leverhulme Prize (2008) and has authored/co-edited major works including *Georgian Monarchy: Politics and Culture 1714–1760* (2006) and *Religion and Women in Britain, 1660–1760* (2014).

She supervises DPhil students at St Cross, Keble, and Mansfield colleges.
Her teaching spans early modern British history, gender studies, and military history. She has held prior positions at Christ’s College, Cambridge (as lecturer) and the University of Hull (as RCUK Academic Fellow). Her work integrates historical methodologies with cutting-edge interdisciplinary projects in vision science, adaptive optics, and material perception.
Key awards include the Philip Leverhulme Prize (2008). She actively advises on doctoral research and collaborates across disciplines, evidenced by her co-edited volumes and participation in projects like the Robert Grosseteste scientific works series.
