Douglas Miller is an assistant professor of history at Oklahoma State University. His research focuses on Native American urbanity, mobility and work in the twentieth century. In 2019, as part of its Critical Indigeneities series, the University of North Carolina Press published Professor Miller’s first book, "Indians on the Move: Native American Mobility and Urbanization in the Twentieth Century." His next book project, under the working title “Incarcerated Indians: From Prisoners of Wars to Prisoners of Carceral States,” focuses on Native American incarceration, recidivism, homelessness and prison activism from the colonial period to the present. A preview chapter of this new project, titled, “The Spider’s Web: Mass Incarceration and Settler Custodialism in Indian Country,” arrived in 2019 as part of the anthology "Caging Borders and Carceral States: Incarcerations, Immigration Detentions, and Resistance," published by the University of North Carolina Press for its "Justice, Power, and Politics" series. Prior to joining OSU in fall 2015, Miller served a postdoctoral research fellowship at Southern Methodist University's Clements Center for Southwest Studies.
