Stephen Paul Miller is a Professor of English at St. John’s University, where he has been faculty since 1991. His academic journey includes teaching roles at Columbia University, New York University, Jagiellonian University (Poland as a Fulbright Scholar), and Tel Aviv University (nominated for a second Fulbright). He holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from NYU (1990), an M.A. in American Studies from CCNY (1983), and a B.A. in English from CCNY (1972).
Dr. Miller’s research explores intersections of cultural studies, literary criticism, and poetry. His seminal work The Seventies Now: Culture as Surveillance (Duke UP, 1999) redefined 1970s cultural analysis, while his poetry collections—Art Is Boring..., The Bee Flies in May, and Skinny Eighth Avenue—blend experimental forms with socio-political inquiry. His interdisciplinary projects include studies on post-WWII “liquid totems” (Holocaust, suburbs, technology) and secular Jewish poetic practice.
