Channon S. Miller, PhD, is a Hartford-raised, interdisciplinary scholar of Black women’s interior and exterior lives. She received her undergraduate degree in American Studies from Trinity College in 2011 and completed her doctorate at Boston University, also in American Studies, in 2017. She excavates stories about Black women, Black resistance, Black cultures, and Black diasporas of the recent past from geographies often hidden from view. Hartford, from the mid-twentieth century mass migration of Black people there from the South and the Caribbean, to the present day – grounds and inspires her research. Miller specializes in oral history, historical ethnography, and archival research. Her writings have appeared in The Journal of African American History, Women, Gender, and Families of Color, Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International, The Black Scholar, and more. Find her work on Academia.
In support of her research, she has received fellowships and awards from organizations such as The Ford Foundation - where she was a 2023 - 2024 Postdoctoral Fellow for the Trinity College Social Justice Institute, the University of California Humanities Research Institute, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Institute on Tenure and Professional Advancement.
Within the classroom, she invites students to explore the Black past and present by hearing and dialoguing with the expressions and words of Black peoples themselves.
