ERIC HINDERAKER

Eric Hinderaker is a historian of early North America and the western hemisphere, with a particular interest in European-Indigenous relations, the dynamics of early modern empires, comparative colonization, the western hemisphere as a unit of historical analysis, environmental constraints and transformations in colonial settings, and the problem of authority in early America. His books include a study of intercultural relations in the Ohio Valley, a dual biography of two Mohawks who played leading roles in relations between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Great Britain, a deeply contextualized account of the Boston Massacre, and a survey of the backcountry of British North America. His research has taken him to the National Archives of Great Britain and Canada, the John Carter Brown Library in Rhode Island, the Huntington Library in California, the Boston Public Library, and state historical society repositories in Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts, among other places. He is also co-author, with Rebecca Edwards and Robert Self, of a US History textbook that is widely used in college, university, and AP US History classrooms. He has taught at the University of Utah for 35 years and has served three times as department chair, from 2002-2008, 2016-2018, and 2025-2027.
