Habits of the Creative Mind - A Talk by Professor Richard E. Miller
Richard E. Miller has delivered over one hundred invited talks across the country and abroad on a range of topics related to literacy, technology, and higher education. His current research is focused on "the end of privacy" and how education is being changed by the proliferation of hand-held devices that enable instant publication and global distribution of anything that can be seen or heard. He and Ann Jurecic are in the process of co-writing Habits of the Creative Mind, a guide designed to help writers practice being curious in the Age of Information Overload, which is due out from Bedford/St. Martins in 2014.
The author of As if Learning Mattered: Reforming Higher Education (1998) and Writing at the End of the World (2005), Miller has, for the past five years, published exclusively on his website, text2cloud.com: An Experiment in Learning in Public. On text2cloud.com, Professor Miller has published a series of case studies on digital voyeurism, willful self-incrimination, school violence, and citizen journalism. He maintains two other open-ended projects on the site: an unfolding archival project that seeks to make public a psychological history of grinding poverty during The Great Depression and a graphic novel that follows the misadventures of Professor Pawn, erstwhile member of the Department of Exlification. Professor Miller is working in the Doctoral Program in Clinical Social Work during the 2013-2014 academic year.
