Dr. Hill studies the philosophy of computing, with the aim of extending its reach beyond formal systems into human affordance and human perspectives.  She asks questions about the ontology of computing objects and the epistemology of computing practices, along with the ethics of computational deployments.  Dr. Hill participates regularly in conferences of the Commission on the History and Philosophy of Computing and the International Association for Computing and Philosophy.  She writes blog pieces for the professional newsletter Communications of the ACM (online, Blog@CACM), inviting greater consideration of issues interesting to theoretical and applied technologists as well as the public.  She is an officer in the Association for Philosophy and Computing, based in the United States.
