| Popis: | Miles was born in Trinidad in 1939, where he lived until college. Trinidad was then a British colony, and for college Miles had to choose between studying in England or the United States. His inclination was to go to the United States to become a fighter pilot, but his father, an electrical engineer, talked him out of it. Miles instead chose to attend Howard University (Washington, DC), where he majored in history with a minor in politics. After graduating in 1962, Miles attended summer school at the University of Oslo (Oslo, Norway). He fell in love with the country and has returned many times to Norway for research collaborations. |
