During her t-track as architecture faculty at Miami University she curated Cage Gallery, served on Council on Diversity, REEE Curriculum Committee, Havighurst Advisory Committee, and Post-Doctoral Fellowship Selection Committee. 
First independent woman curator from post-communist Moscow (1992–94) she brought itinerant Paper Architecture exhibitions under contract with Moscow Association of Junior Architects (President: Serguei Timofeev), to Germany and France with support by Senate of Berlin, Grün Berlin GMBh, École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Strasbourg, and Bürgerhaus Gröbenzell, and was first female lecturer from Russia invited by European Academy of the Urban Environment EA.UE Berlin in cooperation with UNESCO in the Program “Sustainable Settlements” (other lecturers: Maurice Culot (France), Lucien Kroll (Belgium), Rob Krier and Léon Krier (Luxembourg), Kenzō Tange (Japan), 1993; in 2016–20 she served as the first Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) Liaison elected to SHERA Board.

International Archive of Women in Architecture at Virginia Tech holds a collection of her professional records, artwork, dissertation thesis and boards, and correspondence with the IAWA Founder Prof. Milka Bliznakov (Series VI), as well as over 25 collections of women architects that she solicited for the Archive.
Anna Sokolina published over 90 research papers, presented at 83 academic conferences, received 17 academic awards, and is affiliated with 15 professional societies.

Bliznakov Scholar Report (2019), current book-in-progress: Design Code of the Utopia: East Germany 1945-1990. As editor, she also initiated the anthology Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture (forthcoming) envisioned as a catalyst for effective pioneering programs, as a general reading and as a core text, to provide a foundation for developing new surveys, other courses and modules on the subject, and to further new publications containing unbiased revisions of the readings on histories of built environments; and a dissertation-into-book project of the IAWA founder Milka Bliznakov, In Search for a Style: The Great Experiment in Architecture 1917–1932.
