The Association for Integrative Studies recently recognized Professor Raymond Miller as the recipient of the Kenneth Boulding Award during its 30th anniversary conference in Springfield, Illinois. The Boulding Award is the organization’s highest honor bestowed on scholars and teachers whose work has made major, long-term contributions to the concept or enactment of interdisciplinarity. Recipients of the Boulding Award have given extraordinary service to the interdisciplinary community by clarifying and expanding the concept of interdisciplinarity and by deepening the scholarly or public understanding of interdisciplinary inquiry through a combination of teaching, scholarship, and integrative community involvement.
Miller is a past president, journal editor, and long-time member of AIS. He is also the past president of the Society for International Development and Professor Emeritus of International Relations and Social Science at San Francisco State University. He received his Ph.D. from Syracuse University and his M.A. from the University of Chicago. His culminating work, International Political Economy, Contrasting World Views, was published by Routledge Press this past summer. Miller’s “courage in service of the public good” was cited as a key feature of his commitment to creating social change. Miller’s contributions to interdisciplinary discourse and its applications have extended beyond the academy into city and regional government, where he served for three terms as mayor of Brisbane, California, and as member of Mateo County commissions on planning, governance, and transportation.
Past winners of this award include: Kenneth Boulding (1990), Ernest Boyer (1993), Jerry Gaff (1993), Julie Thompson Klein (2003) and William H. Newell (2003).
