Mitch Miller is a Lecturer in Design, History and Theory. He is an illustrator, artist and researcher with an interest in graphic anthropology, socially engaged methods and the material and intangible heritage of Mobile/Traveller communities. His dialectograms have proved to be highly influential as both a set of methodologies and style of knowledge communication, and he continues to produce these works in a variety of contexts and collaborative frameworks. Much of his research is rooted in practice, in particular finding ways to develop methdologies within disciplines such as graphic anthropology, deep mapping, or exploring the potential of socially engaged methods within Illustration and other forms of Visual Communication. He is a recognised expert on Travelling Fairground cultures and communities, and Traveller (GTRSB) cultures overall. Other areas of interest include Comics, Urban Studies, Scottish Culture and Oral History. He is co-founder and former editor of the literary and arts journal The Drouth.
