Hill taught in the Video/Performance Studio at the Technical University in Brno (1997), where she produced Walking Trips in Czech Lands, a series of interviews with artists, documentarians and editors involved in the Czech “parallel” culture prior to 1989 (1995-1997).

Her recent publications and media work have investigated documentary media on the U.S. incarceration crisis (Habeas Corpus: You Have the Body), contemporary artists’ work that re-embodies experimental film and grassroots video projects of the early 1970s, tactical media initiatives in response to an educational community emergency, and beekeeping.
