Edward Miller is a historian, teacher, and digital humanist. His research and teaching focus on Modern Vietnam, the Vietnam War, and oral history. His scholarship explores the international and transnational dimensions of the Vietnam War and is based on research in archives in Vietnam, Europe, and the United States. His publications include Misalliance: Ngo Dinh Diem, the United States, and the Fate of South Vietnam (Harvard, 2013) and The Vietnam War: A Documentary Reader (Wiley, 2016). Professor Miller is currently at work on a book-length study of the Vietnam War in the Mekong Delta that re-interprets the conflict there as a civil war.
In addition to his scholarship on the Vietnam War, Prof. Miller is interested in the digital humanities and especially in the application of digital technology to the field of oral history. He is the founder and director of the Dartmouth Digital History Initiative, a project that is developing data visualization tools for use with oral history archives. He is also a co-founder of the Dartmouth Vietnam Project, an oral history project that trains Dartmouth undergraduate students to interview older members of the Dartmouth community about their experiences and memories of the Vietnam War era.
