Hamish Russell teaches ethics and political philosophy, focusing on topics such as Human Rights and Global Environmental Justice. In his courses, which include modules on Justice, Liberty, and Market, he covers both historical and contemporary philosophical theories, professional ethics, and sexuality. His research interests are centered on the ethics of institutions, particularly how the roles within complex and imperfect institutions shape moral obligations. He examines whether the rules that govern professional roles—such as those of lawyers or business executives—are just, and to what extent they are ethically permitted or required.
