Anna Chadwick is a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow at the University of Glasgow. She started her current job after completing a two-year Max Weber Fellowship at the European University Institute, in Florence. She was awarded her doctorate by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in November 2015, and holds a Masters Degree in Public International Law and International and UK Human Rights Law (LLM) from King's College London, and an LLB from the University of Leeds. Anna spent one year working for the legal charity, Reprieve, where she undertook investigation and research on death penalty cases. She is also part of a joint research initiative on food and finance. In 2017, she co-designed and taught a new Masters course 'Food, Law, and Finance' at International University College of Turin. Anna has also taught courses on International Human Rights Law, and World Hunger and the Global Legal Order.

[S]uccessfully brings valuable insights from legal and economic theory together with lucid analysis of financial law and food systems. Through careful analysis, Chadwick successfully distils the complexity of financial instruments into understandable private law concepts. It will be of interest to academics in the field of international law, legal and financial theory, and food systems. The book is as much an illuminating exposition of the financial industries' feeding frenzy as it is a sobering account of the real consequences that a fixation on risk, profit and price can have on access to food. Chadwick successfully incriminates and charges a variety of legal regimes with many of the ills that society faces today in relation to Food Security. It is through excellent contributions such as Law and the Political Economy of Hunger that we find new understandings of how hunger is produced and sustained through law.
