CENTER DIRECTOR |
Dr. Dorothy C. Miller, Director
dorothy.miller@case.edu
 As
director of the Center, Dr. Dorothy Miller is building on the efforts
of the Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association, Women's Coalition and
many other campus women's organizations to develop a cohesive program
addressing female students, faculty, staff and alumnae.
Prior to joining CASE in September, Miller spent 13 years, including six as
chair, on the faculty of the Center for Women's Studies at Wichita State University.
She
formerly served on the faculty of the University of Maryland School
of Social Work and Community Planning. Prior to that she was the
Director of the Hecht Institute for State Child Welfare Planning
at the Child Welfare League of America.
Miller, who is also visiting associate professor at the Mandel School
of Applied Social Sciences, received her bachelor's degree in English
literature from the University of Pennsylvania and her master's degree
in social work and doctorate of social welfare in social policy from
Columbia University.
Dr. Miller's research agenda is focused on women's economic well-being.
Her publications include the book, Women and Social Welfare: A Feminist Analysis. Her most recent publication "Socializing Care: Feminist Ethics and Public Issues" Series: Feminist Constructions (Published Jan 06) attempts to dispel that criticism often levied that care ethics is too narrow in scope and fails to extend to issues of social justice.
Dr.
Miller is also the author of "What is Needed for True Equality: An
Overview of Policy Issues for Women," a book chapter in Building on
Women's Strengths: A Social Work Agenda for the 21st Century.
When
in Kansas she authored, under contract with the University of Kansas School
of Social Welfare, a monograph, Family Poverty in Kansas: A Guide to Government
Programs and Policies, and its companion volume, Understanding Family
Poverty in Kansas.
