Work

As a Maoist philosophy lecturer at University of Paris VIII in Paris, Miller's radicalism was used as a reason for her philosophy department to be decertified.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> This occurred after she handed out course credit to someone she met on a bus, and subsequently publicly declared in a radio interview that the university is a capitalist institution,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> and that she would do everything she could to make it run as badly as possible. After this, she was demoted by the French education department to a lycée teacher.Template:Citation needed
