Kort biografi
Steven Miller brings his keen understanding of the Arab world to his work as a Research Associate at FDD. As part of his work, he monitors and analyzes the Arabic language press in order to help FDD scholars identify and remain ahead of the curve on issues that are under-reported in the Western media. He is also conducting research related to ideology and online media in Saudi Arabia. His translations of Arabic language articles have been referenced in the media.

Prior to joining FDD, Steve was a policy analyst at the Institute for Gulf Affairs in Washington, D.C., a think-tank that focuses on the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.

Steve earned his B.A. from Indiana University, where he studied Economics and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, including classical Arabic. He has traveled widely throughout the Middle East.

Recensioner

Some of my readers might remember that back in 2012 I reviewed a book which argued that The untold story of Australian art is the story of dogs and how they came to inspire and shape the art of a nation. Dog lovers have always known this, of course, and naturally we were very pleased to see that at last dogs were being given their proper place in our cultural history.

The book was Dogs in Australian Art by Steven Miller, and I am delighted to report that there is now an expanded edition of this seminal work, published to coincide with an exhibition, ‘Best in Show: Dogs in Australian Art’ at the Orange Regional Gallery. If you’re quick you can still catch this exhibition: it finishes on July 3rd. Orange is a bit nippy this time of the year so pack your warm winter woollies; there might be snow – but from my experience you can be sure of a warm welcome from the locals.

Miller is head of the Research Library and Archive of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and is also the co-author with Eileen Chanin of the award-winning Degenerates and Perverts (2005). (No, not what you think: Degenerates and Perverts is about the 1939 Herald Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art, a collection of contemporary art which was marooned in Australian during WW2. It included works by Picasso and Matisse, cheap as chips because of the war, but Australia passed up the opportunity to buy it for reasons that are obvious from the title of the book. The summary at Wikipedia doesn’t mention if dogs are included in the discussion about this collection. This may be a flaw in the book. If I ever get hold of a copy, I will check back here to let you know. )
