Author Bio
Dr. Laura Miller received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1988. She came to UMSL in August 2010. Endowed Chair in Japanese Studies.
After graduation from the University of California, Santa Barbara with BA degrees in Anthropology and Asian Studies, Dr. Miller taught English and supervised an English language program for Teijin Educational Systems in Osaka, Japan (1977-1981). She began teaching anthropology in the 1980s in Los Angeles, and has been a faculty member at several universities. At UMSL, she will teach new courses on Japanese culture and linguistic anthropology.
Dr Miller is currently working on two new book projects. Japanese Girl Stuff builds on multiple interests and expertise in linguistic anthropology, Japanese popular culture, and gender and media. She is also co-editing (with Alisa Freedman and Christine Yano) the volume Modern Girls on the Go: Gender, Mobility, and Labor in Japan, a collection which crosses the fields of history, anthropology, literature, and visual studies, investigating the lived experiences and cultural depictions of women who worked in service industries related to ideas of mobility.
