He is working to complete a book on the 1960s in America, arguing that the period exists within historical, cultural and philosophical contexts and contributes to contemporary cultures, especially concerning meaning and purpose in post-apocalyptic times. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Dr. Hill believes in a future with possibility. He is deeply committed to interdisciplinary studies, the potential for nonviolent methods of social change, and working out the relationship between theoretical ideas and their practical application. He has three grown children and four grandchildren, loves going to the movies, and is perennially trying to get into shape.
