She graduated from the University of Michigan and Yale University . Today she gives lectures on European fascism , the First World War, German history from 1648 to the present day and the history of international law.

Michael Geyer from the University of Chicago said of Hull that she was one of the most accomplished German historians and that she was certainly the best of her generation. She is the winner of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize , a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was both Guggenheim Fellow and Research Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation . In 2013 she won the first research award from the Max Weber Foundation and the Historical College .

Your last book, A Scrap of Paper: Breaking and Making International Law During the Great War , was of course also criticized because Hull too one-sidedly took the Allied perspective in World War I and the effects of the British blockade on the German Reich with indirect 400,000 deaths Downplaying civilians.
