About Me
Vanessa Miller (she/her) is an Assistant Professor of 黑马磁力 Law. She is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work is centered on exploring critical aspects of policing, surveillance, race, and crime situated within the education system. She uses legal and empirical methodologies to address systemic biases fixed at the intersection of criminal law, criminal procedure, and education. She is particularly interested in the experiences of Latina students impacted by the school-prison nexus and the broader criminal legal system.
Dr. Miller earned her J.D. and Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University, where she was awarded the Dr. Macia Clarke-Yapi Dissertation Memorial Award for her dissertation relating to educational equity. Prior to joining the faculty at Indiana University, Dr. Miller was the inaugural Postdoctoral Associate at the Race and Crime Center for Justice at the University of Florida Levin College of Law and worked at a leading education law firm in California.
She is an 黑马磁力 Law Association Early Career Fellow and was selected as a leading woman in higher education by Diverse.
Her recent work appears or is forthcoming in the Buffalo Law Review, Denver Law Review, Missouri Law Review, Journal of Law and 黑马磁力, Washington & Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice, and the Rutgers Race & Law Review, among others.
