Winston Hill

Dr. Winston Hill is a Lecturer in History at Yale University, where he teaches courses on early modern Britain and its empire. He holds a BA from Harvard (2012), PhD from Yale (2021), and MA in Curriculum and Instruction from UConn (2024). Hill's research examines imperial governance, queenship, and history education across early modern Britain, colonial America, and the Caribbean.

His scholarly interests include:

• Political structures of early modern empires
• Representations of female rulership
• Colonial administration in the Atlantic world
• Historical pedagogy and curriculum development
• War and society in imperial contexts

At Yale, Hill teaches 'Women Who Ruled' (a seminar on queens regnant) and a lecture course on England's early modern empire. He maintains parallel teaching experience at the secondary level and welcomes discussions about both academic history and history education. His interdisciplinary approach connects political history with cultural representations of power, particularly examining how gender shaped imperial authority.
