Policy, Politics, and International Affairs: From U.S.-Russian relations, to her critically acclaimed book 'There Is Nothing for You Here'
A former adviser to the President and a US-Russia relations expert, Dr. Fiona Hill is poised to offer timely insight in her first appearance at the Jefferson Global Summit.
Hill, who has received widespread praise for her new books, will also take part in a book signing.
Hill has served in three previous presidential administrations. She was an intelligence analyst of Russia and Eurasia under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, then became deputy assistant to President Donald Trump, as well as a senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council.
In tune with her academic roots, Hill is a senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe in the Foreign Policy program at The Brookings Institution. An acclaimed author, Dr. Hill wrote There is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century and she co-authored Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin.
Hill became a household name when she testified in the first impeachment trial of former President Trump. In an interview with The New York Times, she described the events of January 6, 2021 as "Trump pulling a Putin."
With a storied career in European and Russian foreign policy, Dr. Hill will bring decades of governmental and academic work to her talk.
Dr. Hill received B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of St. Andrews, where she studied history and Russian. At Harvard University, she went on to earn a second master's degree and a doctoral degree in Russian history.
