ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Professor Reuben Jonathan Miller’s research examines life at the intersection of punishment and social welfare policy. His current project, an ethnography of prisoner reentry in Chicago and Detroit, details the experiences of former prisoners participating in reentry services and discuss the implications of the ascendance of prisoner reentry for race relations, punishment, and social welfare policy in the United States.

Currently based at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ, Dr. Miller is an assistant professor of social work at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His work has been published in journals of criminology, human rights, law, public health, psychology, sociology and social work. He is co-editor of The Routledge Handbook on Poverty in the United States, and of two special editions of peer-reviewed journals, one on poverty and incarceration, and the other, on the state of black male youth and men after Ferguson.

An ethnographer, Dr. Miller is writing a book on prisoner reentry titled Halfway Home, and is concluding a study on how the rise of the carceral state has transformed the lifeworlds of the urban poor in the United States and Europe. Go to Dr. Miller’s faculty bio page.
