Professor Miller received his doctorate from the University of Cincinnati in 1991. His teaching and research interests are focused on the past seventy-five years of American History. He is intrigued about the social history of wars in the twentieth century. He is also interested in the generational tensions and dynamics between the World War II generation and the baby boomers, of which he reluctantly includes himself. Miller’s new passion is running; he is currently training for his first marathon.
