Dr. Miller's scholarship excavates marginalized geographies with particular focus on Hartford's Black communities since the mid-20th century, examining mass migration from the American South and Caribbean, community activism, and the lived experiences of Black women. Her interdisciplinary methodology bridges historical analysis with women's and gender studies, emphasizing how race, gender, and migration shape identity and resistance.
Her publication trajectory reveals persistent engagement with Black motherhood as a site of historical analysis, ecological justice, and cross-ethnic solidarity. Recent works analyze urban resistance to environmental racism in public housing, racial terror's impact on maternal loss, and migrant Black mothers' resilience through community networks. These studies consistently center Black women's voices while connecting local Hartford narratives to broader diasporic experiences.
