Miller, PhD
Arlington, Texas
I am a lecturer at UT Arlington with a decade of teaching experience in English literature, writing, interdisciplinary studies, and women's and gender studies.
My research focuses on gender and sexual identities, sexual subcultures, and representations of sexuality in cultural texts. I have recently published or have forthcoming publications about digital pornography, evangelical purity culture, and queer children's literature. I'm also co-editing a collection called The Dialectic of Digital Culture with David Arditi which will be published by Lexington Fall 2019. My contribution explores mommy blogs.
I have recently presented my work at ChLA and have upcoming presentations at NWSA Fall 2018.

Cultural Studies
Jennifer's dissertation, Diminished Citizenship: A Genealogy of the Development of 'Soft' Citizenship at the Intersection of US Mass and Political Culture, provides a detailed historical overview of the development of a citizenship formation that she refers to as soft citizenship. The phrase soft citizenship describes a citizenship subjectivity and set of practices anchored by childcentricity, sentimentality, and familial-moralization.
