Janet Miller

Janet Miller is Professor of English Education and Program Coordinator of Programs in English Education/The Teaching of English in the Department of Arts and Humanities at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Miller earned her M.A. in English Education from the University of Rochester, New York, and her Ph.D. in Humanities Education and Curriculum Theory from The Ohio State University. She taught high school English for seven years and has been teaching at the university level since 1979. She is a Co-Chair of the Teacher Education Policy Committee. She was elected President of the American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies for the 2001-2004 term, and re-elected President for a second term.

Her research and teaching interests focus on intersections of curriculum and feminist theories, constructions of teacher subjectivities in collaborative school reform and research efforts, and biography and autobiography as postmodern forms of qualitative inquiry. Her work has been published in a number of international refereed journals, including Curriculum Inquiry, Educational Theory, Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, Educational Foundations, English Journal, Journal of Curriculum Studies, English Education, and JCT, among others. She has authored over twenty-five book chapters. She recently received one of two Teachers College Tenured Faculty Research Awards for the 2003-2004 academic year for her current research, tentatively entitled Convergences: A Collaborative Biography of Maxine Greene.
