Prof Gillian Russell

Gillian Russell (PhD Princeton 2004) was a Killam Postdoc at the University of Alberta,  taught at Washington University in St Louis (where she received tenure in 2011) and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where she was Alumni Distinguished Professor.  She moved to the Dianoia Research Institute in Melbourne in 2020, and then joined the ANU in July 2024.

She remains a visiting Professorial Fellow at the Arché Research Center at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Her research interests include (broadly) philosophy of logic and language and (more narrowly) the metaphysics and epistemology of logic, barriers to entailment (including Hume's Law), the analytic/synthetic distinction, anti-exceptionalism about logic, logic's (lack of) normativity, virtual reality, and social and political applications of theoretical work in the philosophy of logic and language, including feminist logic.
