J. Reid Miller serves as The T. Wistar Brown Professor in Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Haverford College. His research specializes in metaethics and the philosophy of race, examining structural histories of language, subjectivity, and embodiment through interdisciplinary frameworks including structuralism/poststructuralism, 19th–20th century race theories, film, and sexuality studies.
Education:
- Ph.D. in History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz
- M.A. in Media Theory and Experimental Film Production, University of Iowa
- B.A. in Film Theory and Psychology, Yale University
Miller's scholarship investigates how ethics and race function as historically constructed 'stains' on personhood, arguing subjects originate through differentiating inheritances. His 2016 monograph Stain Removal: Ethics and Race establishes this framework, while his current work develops 'Inheritance Studies' to analyze cross-generational transmission of knowledges and belongings.
Scientific Awards:
- UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship
- Ford Foundation Fellowship
- Award for documentary film '80 Years Later' (2022)
As Associate Editor of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies since 2021 and former Visiting Scholar at Stanford (2018) and UC Berkeley (2022–23), Miller bridges philosophical inquiry with film production and critical race scholarship through editorial leadership and collaborative projects.
