About

Hi! My name is Eric C. Miller. I’m a member of the Communication Studies faculty at Commonwealth University–Bloomsburg, where I do a lot of reading and writing about Christianity, conservatism, capitalism, and climate change. I am currently at work on a book project about the prospects for degrowth economics in the United States. Tentatively titled Degrowing America: Ideological Obstacles and Rhetorical Opportunities, the volume is scheduled for publication with Palgrave sometime in 2027.

This site serves a pair of purposes. First, it’s a book blog – a place to sort and compile my reading projects, which are systematic and many. I read lots of books and like to recommend the really good ones to everyone I know, whether they’ve asked me to or not. Second, it’s a professional site – a place to post my CV and publications, so people can access my work. If you’re interested, those things are available under the “Work” tab.

In any case, welcome! Contact me via email at emiller@commonwealthu.edu or check out my advocacy work with the Bloomsburg Chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby.
