Dr. Miller teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on American media history and theory. His approach is influenced by his training in the field of performance studies and an ongoing interest in critiques of Western philosophical and cultural traditions, but he writes and lectures in a style that does not rely upon academic jargon. Miller has served as a Contributing Editor to the Encyclopedia of Contemporary American Culture, the cultural editor for the journal Social Policy, and as Managing Editor and Associate Editor for TDR, a journal of performance studies. His work is widely available online. Before his career in academia, Miller worked in magazine publishing, theatre, and non-profit management.
