Jill K. Gill is an interdisciplinary 20th century Americanist. She received her B.A. in American Studies from Whitworth College (1986) and her M.A. (1988) and Ph.D. (1996) in American Civilization from the University of Pennsylvania. As a historian with an interdisciplinary background and approach, she integrates anthropology, political science, religion, philosophy and literature into her study and teaching of America's past.

After a year-long post-doctoral research position with the Center for Social and Religious Research at Hartford Seminary, she taught for two years at the University of Findlay in Ohio before returning to her roots in the Pacific Northwest, joining the Boise State faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2000. She specializes in 20th century American social, cultural, political, diplomatic and religious history with a research focus on the 1960s. She is currently revising her dissertation on the National Council of Churches and the Vietnam War into a book manuscript for Northern Illinois University Press. She has published articles in Peace and Change, Religion and American Culture, The Journal of Presbyterian History, and Methodist History. She has also published over ten book reviews and encyclopedia articles.

Along with American survey courses, she teaches courses on the 1960s, The Vietnam War, the History of Multicultural America, American Religious History, Sexualities and American Society, Global Human Rights, and Civil Rights Movements in America.
