He graduated with a B.Sc (Econ) degree, with honours in Sociology, in 1972 and a Ph.D. in the Sociology of Literature in 1977.

Leanne Sullivan, Crown Content, Melbourne, 2009, p. 1480.〕 Milner was politically active, by turn, in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Labour Party Young Socialists, the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign, the International Socialists, the Socialist Workers Party (Britain) and, in Australia, People for Nuclear Disarmament.〔Milner, Andrew, ''The Road to St. Kilda Pier: George Orwell and the Politics of the Australian Left'', Stained Wattle Press, Sydney, 1984, p. ii.〕 In the early 21st century he appears to have joined the Australian Greens.〔Milner, Andrew, `Shock! Horror! Chattering Classes Vote Green!' Overland No. 166, 2002, pp. 95-97.〕 Milner's academic interests include literary and cultural theory, the sociology of literature, utopia, dystopia and science fiction. His work has been published in English in Australia, India, the US and the UK and has been translated into German, Portuguese, Chinese, Persian and Korean. He first attracted attention for work, strongly influenced by Lucien Goldmann, on the sociology of 17th-century literature. Subsequently he has become better known for his advocacy of Raymond Williams's cultural materialism and for studies of utopian and dystopian science fiction. He also has a strong interest in the cultural sociology of Pierre Bourdieu.〔(Andrew Milner Monash webpage )〕 ==Career== Andrew Milner began his academic career teaching Sociology at the London School of Economics in 1972.
