Jay David Miller serves as an assistant professor of English and teaches in the Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox University Honors Program. His broad fields of research encompass the literatures of colonial North America and the Atlantic world, the early American republic, and the antebellum United States.

Prior to coming to Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox, he was the 2021 ACLS Carl and Betty Pforzheimer Fellow in English and American Literature, and a research associate at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
