Miles' research program centers on Race and Ethnicity, Migration Studies, and Health Disparities, employing qualitative methodologies to investigate how racial logics perpetuate inequality. His dissertation Black to Mexico: Contemporary Black American Migration, Social Mobility, and the Quest for Freedom explores the "Blaxit" phenomenon under advisor Fatma Müge Göçek, while current work extends to healthcare systems under mentor Monika Gosin. His scholarship bridges sociological theory with urgent public health concerns through critical race frameworks.
Analysis of his 2019-2024 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory examining institutional violence across healthcare and migration contexts. Articles consistently apply critical race theory to uncover how historical legacies manifest in contemporary decision-making processes, particularly regarding ICU admissions and racial dispossession. His work demonstrates methodological rigor through ethnographic and qualitative approaches that center marginalized experiences.
His scholarly recognition includes:
- President's Postdoctoral Fellowship
Miles operates within UC San Diego's Ethnic Studies ecosystem under Professor Monika Gosin's mentorship, contributing to interdisciplinary dialogues on racial justice. His research program demonstrates significant potential for influencing both academic discourse and institutional practices regarding race and healthcare access.
