Her research explores the imaginative and ethical uses of discourse and rhetoric in public and professional communications. This interest is variously reflected in Anne's journal articles and chapters in edited collections, as well as in her two sole-authored books, Public and professional writing: Ethics, imagination and rhetoric (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) and Imagining the cosmopolitan in public and professional writing (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). She is currently working on a book-length project (with co-author Associate Professor Kristin Demetrious), contracted to OUP New York, exploring the ways in which contemporary social issues are shaped by neoliberal discourse and rhetoric.
