Charles Hill (diplomat)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Hill is the Diplomat-in-Residence and a lecturer in International Studies at Yale University. A career foreign service officer, Ambassador Hill was a senior adviser to George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, and Ronald Reagan, as well as Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the sixth Secretary-General of the United Nations. At Yale, he teaches, along with Paul Kennedy and John Gaddis, the prestigious seminar "Studies in Grand Strategy", a rigorous interdisciplinary study of leadership, statecraft, and diplomacy. He also teaches students enrolled in the Directed Studies program. Beginning in 2007, Hill offered a new course, Oratory in Statecraft. Not since Roland G. Osterweis, who taught "The History and Practice of American Oratory", had oratory been taught at Yale. The course description reads as follows: "A seminar and practicum in oratory, the first tool of leadership. A study of oratory as it provides direction, builds support, and drives action on a strategic agenda. Analysis of speeches in antiquity, the early modern era, and the unique American voice: Edwards to Lincoln to King."
In 2006, a former student, Molly Worthen, published a book about him, titled The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost.
