Eva Miller is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at UCL History, whose research explores how modern scholars and artists have conceived of the ancient past and theorized the importance of “origins.” She is the author of Early Civilization and the American Modern: Images of Middle Eastern Origins in the United States, 1893–1939 (UCL Press, 2024), and editor (with G. Crouzet) of Finding Antiquity, Making the Modern Middle East: Archaeology, Empires, Nations (Bloomsbury, 2025). Among other areas, she has worked on self-Orientalizing Jewish art, cryptozoological investigations of living dinosaurs attested in ancient Babylonian artifacts, anthropological theories on the evolution of languages and writing, and the role of art in science museums. She originally trained as an Assyriologist, earning her doctorate from the University of Oxford in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.
