Trained as an art historian, Dylan Miner holds a PhD from The University of New Mexico – with a focus on Arts of the Américas – and has published extensively. To date, he has published more than sixty journal articles, book chapters, critical essays, and encyclopedia entries – some that you can download below. His book Creating Aztlán: Chicano Art, Indigenous Sovereignty, and Lowriding Across Turtle Island was published in 2014 by the University of Arizona Press. His scholarly chapters have also been published by Duke University Press (2019), Yale University Press (2018), Washington State University Press (2017), University of Pittsburgh Press (2015), Oxford University Press (2014), Michigan State University Press (2013), University of Arizona Press (2012), Routledge (2018 and 2012), University of Toronto Press (2012), Palgrave Macmillan (2010), Blackwell (2009), Greenwood (2013 and 2008), Facts on File (2012, 2011, and 2008), and Sage (2007), as well as numerous gallery and museum publications, multiple journals, and other venues. Miner recently published a chapter on the activism of Michif artist Christi Belcourt in the catalogue published following her mid-career retrospective UPRISING: The Power of Mother Earth (with Isaac Murdoch).

Miner is presently working on two book-length projects:

1. “Half Breed Indians Praying for Presents”: Social, Cultural, and Political History of Rights-bearing Métis // Halfbreeds in the Upper Great Lakes;

2. "These Conditions Can be Changed”: An Art History of the the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or Wobblies).

In additional, Miner is frequently publishing risograph artist books, both through his own press, as well as with art book publishers. Note: additional and updated texts are available here, as well.
