Mark J. Miller

Mark J. Miller is an Associate Professor of English in the School of Arts and Sciences at Hunter College, City University of New York. He teaches Early American Literature, Native American Literature, and literary theory with a focus on transatlantic contexts.

His research centers on public-sphere religious organizing, race, and sexuality in 18th-19th century Anglo-American contexts. Key interests include:

• Evangelical writing (1730-1860)

• Gender and abjection theory

Miller's scholarly output is anchored by his monograph Cast Down: Abjection in America, 1700-1850 (University of Pennsylvania Press). His current work examines 18th-19th century religious melancholy and racial hybridity narratives within transatlantic frameworks.
