Her research focuses on 20th century American political economy, and she joined the College’s faculty last fall following a term as a visiting scholar at Harvard University’s Center for History and Economics. A former postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UC San Francisco, Milov is completing a book manuscript titled, “Growing the Cigarette: Tobacco Production, Consumption, and Regulation from the Grassroots.” Her book argues that the cigarette was not produced in spite of consumer, health and environmental regulations but by the government itself. Milov received her Ph.D. and M.A. from Princeton University and holds a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University.
