Dr. April Miller
April Miller completed her Ph.D. at the University of Rochester and earned a B.A., Honors, and M.A. from the University of Alberta. In 2007, she joined the faculty of the University of Northern Colorado as Assistant Professor and Director of Film Studies. Her research focuses primarily on the intersections between literature, film, and socio-scientific concerns such as criminality and mental illness. She is currently completing a book manuscript entitled Offending Women: Moderism, Crime and Creative Production, which investigates the female criminal and her often-overlaping sites of representation in modernist literature, journalism, and silent film. Her research has also been published in Western Folkore, the Women Film Pioneers Project, and the 2011 anthology on female celebrity, In the Limelight and Under the Microscope, edited by Su Holmes and Diane Negra.
