Bio
Dr. Courtney Pina Miller specializes in 20th and 21st century literature, television, film, and media culture, with specific research interests in the intersections of class, race, gender, and sexuality.
She has published research on servant femininity in Downton Abbey and on the forgotten Pulitzer Prize winning author turned dirt farmer Louis Bromfield. Her recent peer-reviewed article on the occurrence of eroticized class performance in D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover is the 2022 winner of The Biennial Award to a Newly Published Scholar in Lawrence Studies from the D.H. Lawrence Society of North America.
With ten years of interdisciplinary teaching experience at Loyola Marymount University, Brandeis University, and Harvard University, Dr. Miller is excited to join the BU Writing Program to develop courses on social and racial justice like “Who Cares? Domestic Labor and the Commodification of Care” and “Performing Class.”
Above all, Dr. Miller is invested in practicing anti-racist and inclusive pedagogy, with a special interest in supporting first-generation college students inside and outside of the classroom.
