Julie Miller

Jessica R. Pliley and Zoe Trodd, of the Gilder Lehrman Center’s Modern Slavery Working Group join Tom Thurston on this episode of Slavery and Its Legacies. 

A PhD candidate at Harvard University puzzling over the past, Julie Miller is currently finishing her dissertation, a history of the idea of a person in British North America and the new United States. She entered Harvard after completing a BA at Vanderbilt and MPhil at Oxford. At the latter, she studied with Andrew Ashworth to write a thesis arguing that the defendant’s dock is a rights issue. After completing her dissertation in the fall of 2017, she has joined the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University as a postdoctoral fellow in the spring of 2018.
