Revision as of 17:23, 30 November 2021

This article is about the British sociologist. For the British political theorist, see David Miller (political theorist).

David Miller (born 1964) is a British sociologist, whose research and publications focus on terrorism and propaganda. Miller was Professor of Sociology at the University of Strathclyde (2004–2011)[1] and the University of Bath (2011–2018).[2] From 2018, he was professor of Political Sociology at the University of Bristol,[3] where one of his lectures led to complaints, including from students, with allegations of anti-semitism and the spreading of conspiracy theories. Although cleared of the initial allegations[4][5] a further investigation was launched as a result of comments he made about both Israel and Jewish student groups.[6] The investigation found that Miller's comments were not unlawful, however, his employment at the university was terminated in October 2021 as it was deemed he had not met the standards of behaviour expected of staff.[7][8][9] He is the co-founder and co-director of the non-profit company Public Interest Investigations (PII), which runs two projects, Spinwatch and Powerbase.

Education, posts and affiliations

Miller earned a bachelor's degree in biological science from the University of Glasgow. He undertook doctoral research with the Glasgow Media Group.[10][11]

Miller began his academic career as a lecturer and then reader in film and media studies at the University of Stirling, before switching to sociology.[11] From 2004 to 2011, he was Professor of Sociology at the University of Strathclyde.[1] He became Professor of Sociology at the University of Bath[2] in 2011 and the University of Bristol in 2018.[3]

From 2013 to 2016, he was a Global Uncertainties Leadership Fellow with the Research Councils UK (RCUK), where he led a project examining the function of expertise in the area of terrorism.[12] Between 2013 and 2016, the UK Research and Innovation funding body provided Miller and his co-authors £401,552 in funding.[13]

Miller is a director of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies[14] and a member of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (SPM).[15][10] The SPM has received criticism for disputing the veracity of official research concerning the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War as well as for its claims that the Syrian White Helmets have staged false flag attacks in order to trigger Western retaliation against the Syrian regime.[16][17] Miller co-wrote a SMP paper on the Douma chemical attack in 2019. He told The Jewish Chronicle in March 2021 the work of the SPM had been "fully, totally vindicated" by subsequent revelations, but the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has dismissed their veracity of the SPM's work.[10]

Spinwatch and other websites

Miller is the co-founder and co-director of the non-profit company Public Interest Investigations (PII), which has two main projects, Spinwatch, a website[18] which describes itself as being "devoted to public interest reporting on spin lobbying and political corruption", and Powerbase, a wiki that "monitors power networks and conflicts of interest".[19] According to Jake Wallis Simons of The Jewish Chronicle, PII has received funding from MEND and the Cordoba Foundation, both of which have been accused of having Islamist connections.[10]

SpinWatch aligns with Miller's interest in "concentrations of power in society" by examining networks which it says use "spin and deception" to "distort public debate and undermine democracy".[3]

In May 2018, Spinwatch reported that the British government had issued two DSMA-notices after the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal. The website claimed that the notices instructed the British media not to report that Pablo Miller, a retired MI6 agent, had recruited Sergei Skripal to MI6. [20][21][22][23][better source needed]

Miller's SpinProfiles, a project associated with Spinwatch, described itself as a collaborative "encyclopedia of people, issues, and groups shaping the public agenda" and has "close to ten thousand profiles of think tanks, lobbying organisations and those associated with them".[24][25] The content of SpinProfiles, was moved to Powerbase, a new website, in 2010.[26][27] According to Miller, the SpinProfiles website was taken down by the domain name registrar that summer after SpinProfiles declined to remove publicly available information about Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens from its site.[25] In 2010, Shiraz Maher wrote in Standpoint that SpinProfiles lacked entries on the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and IEngage (the name under which MEND was then known).[24]

In a 2021 article in the New Statesman, Dave Rich Head of Policy at the Community Security Trust, wrote that Spinwatch "echoes certain facets of anti-Semitic conspiracism." and criticizes a booklet co-authored by Miller in 2011, The Cold War on British Muslims[28] that claims to reveal "pro-Israel trusts and foundations" and "networks of money or power" which attempt to "marginalise British Muslims."[3]

Another of Miller's websites, Neocon Europe,[29][30] hosted material written by Kevin MacDonald, an American evolutionary psychologist who appeared as a witness for David Irving in his unsuccessful libel claim against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt. Miller said he removed MacDonald's statements in November 2009, "as soon as I became aware that they had been posted on the site". In December 2009, Miller said: "Macdonald has been repeatedly and rightly (in our view) accused of racism. Moreover, the statements expressed core essentialist anti-semitic/racist ideas. This material should not have been posted and is in no way endorsed by this site. I apologise for, and deeply regret, this error."[24][31][32]

At the University of Bristol

Comments and incidents in 2019 and 2020

In 2019, Jewish students and Bristol's Jewish Society (JSoc) at Bristol made a complaint to Bristol University about Miller's “Harms of the Powerful” lecture module.[33] Miller used a PowerPoint slide during one lecture, which he had created in 2013, aiming to demonstrate the existence of a Zionist network in Britain.[3] Students were quoted by The Telegraph the following September as saying his lecture reminded them of "anti-Semitic language, tropes and conspiracy theories".[34] Keith Kahn-Harris and Dave Rich have observed that individuals included had either changed posts or died in the intervening period.[3] Miller said "I don't teach conspiracy theories of any sort" that it is “simply a matter of fact" that "parts of the Zionist movement are involved in funding Islamophobia". The complaint was rejected by the university on the basis that it did not contain any material that was hostile to Jews and therefore could not be considered as anti-Semitic.[34]

On 20 May 2020, Miller was suspended as a member of the Labour Party[35] and resigned the following month, after accusing Labour leader Keir Starmer of taking money from "the Zionist movement".[36] That month, Miller said the "targeted harassment" of him and other socialist members confirmed "the degree of influence that Zionist advocates and lobbyists for Israel have over disciplinary processes and Party policy".[37][38] In the same month, in an online meeting Miller expressed a belief that an interfaith gathering at the East London Mosque between Muslims and Jews involving the preparation of chicken soup for the homeless as a "trojan horse" for "normalising" the Zionist movement in the Muslim community.[39][40]

In an online public forum on 29 July 2020, Miller said: "The Zionist movement, and the Israeli government, are the enemy of the left, the enemy of world peace, and they must be directly targeted."[41]

Comments and responses in 2021

Bristol university’s Jewish Society said their members had been abused after being singled out as “part of the UJS which is a direct member of the World Zionist Organisation.[42] According to the Jewish Chronicle, around the same time in an interview with the Electronic Intifada, Miller claimed the university's UJS and JSoc had created a "charade of false antisemitism allegations".[43][44]

The All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Anti-Semitism (APPG) accused Miller of "inciting hatred against Jewish students".[45][46][47][41] In early March 2021, The Times newspaper reported Miller had been accused by the AAPG of antisemitism.[41] He had called for the "end of Zionism," and said Israel is "trying to exert its will all over the world."[41] He called members of the University of Bristol Jewish Society "pawns ... [of] a violent, racist foreign regime engaged in ethnic cleansing".[48]

In a letter to Bristol University, Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies said Miller's "increasingly hysterical attacks on British Jewish organisations are now raising the prospect of real physical harm". According to the Jewish Chronicle, in a statement, Bristol University said it did "not endorse the comments made by Professor David Miller about our Jewish students"[49] and also said "Equally, we must balance the rights and often wide-ranging views of students and staff with institutional policies and national law concerning academic freedom and freedom of speech."[50]

A few days later, Daniel Finkelstein, in a column in The Times, wrote that "waywardness has a place in academic life" and was sceptical of the merits of "cancel culture". The issue convincing Finkelstein that Miller should be removed from his post was his “attack [on] the Bristol University Jewish Society — proper, actual students at his own university — as being part of a co-ordinated campaign of censorship directed by the state of Israel.” Miller had previously told The Jewish Chronicle that: “There is a real question of abuse here — of Jewish students on British campuses being used as political pawns by a violent, racist foreign regime engaged in ethnic cleansing”.[51]

On 28 February, Malia Bouattia, former president of the UK National Union of Students, defended Miller in an opinion piece for Aljazeera: "the accusations of 'anti-Semitism' levelled at him arise from a lecture he gave on the Zionist movement's involvement in promoting Islamophobia, a well-known fact among scholars who study the Palestinian question."[52] Iranian backed Press TV also defended Miller in late February.[53]

On 17 March, the University said that it had begun an investigation of Miller.[46] In March 2021, Avon and Somerset Police said that it had opened a hate crime investigation.[54][needs update] In April 2021, 550 academics, including Simon Schama and Simon Sebag Montefiore, signed a letter condemning Miller's statements the previous February.[41][55] Thangam Debbonaire, whose constituency includes the University of Bristol, also denounced the comments Miller made.[47]

An open letter to the University[56] was signed by hundreds of public intellectuals and academics, including high profile names such as Noam Chomsky and Judith Butler demanding his re-instatement. This stated that "Professor Miller is an eminent scholar, is known internationally for exposing the role that powerful actors and well-resourced, co-ordinated networks play in manipulating and stage-managing public debates, including on racism."[57][58]

On 26 November 2021, the Electronic Intifada published a "leaked" document dated 28 May 2021, "A second University of Bristol report" said to have been commissioned by the University of Bristol "specifically to investigate a public talk Miller gave on 13 February and an article he wrote for The Electronic Intifada a week later." Antisemitism expert Dave Rich tweeted that a second report has been leaked and that it "exonerates Miller just like the first one did: nothing he said was antisemitic." He said the conclusion was reached making use of the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism.[59][60][61]

Employment termination

The University of Bristol terminated Professor Miller's employment "with immediate effect" on 1 October 2021. In a statement, the institution said Miller "did not meet the standards of behaviour we expect from our staff".[7][62][9] The university disciplinary hearing included a third-party investigation by a Queen's Counsel who found Miller's comments "did not constitute unlawful speech". The precise reasons for the university's conclusion were confidential but The Guardian reported they are understood not to cover the content of lectures.[63] The university statement cited its "duty of care to all students and the wider University community" and observed the need to "apply its own codes of conduct".[7][62]

In his immediate response to his sacking, Miller said the university "has embarrassed itself and the entire British academic sector by capitulating to a pressure campaign against me overseen and directed by a hostile foreign government." Miller said he intended to appeal against the University's decision, possibly leading to an employment tribunal.[64]
