Stephen Miller is a graduate of the Australian National University (ANU). In 1994, he completed an honours degree there, writing on the 1960s journalism of Indonesia's premier (and at that time banned) novelist, Pramoedya Ananta Toer (1925-2006). A copy of the thesis is available here. This research later came to play a role in a national media controversy in Indonesia following the awarding of the Magsaysay prize to Pramoedya in 1995. In 1997 he collaborated to produce an ABC radio documentary on the Indonesian exile poet, Agam Wispi, entitled "Journey of an Exile". Following this worked as a translator and interpreter for a PBS documentary on Globalisation, before taking up his present position at UNE. He is currently working on a PhD thesis at The Australian Defence Force Academy / UNSW about the Indonesian Institute of People's Culture (Lekra), 1950-65. His research intrests include Indonesian communism and culture, Indonesian nationalism and the history of the Indonesian Left in general.
