Dr. Paxman specializes in Early Modern Philosophy. She has published extensively on the philosopher David Hume, and teaches courses in philosophy of mind, history of philosophy, applied ethics, and philosophy of religion. Professor Russell's work as director and writer of an extensive portfolio of feature film and media work has been recognized by festivals nationwide.
