She has been awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa by Lund University and by the University of Gothenburg.
Her scholarship has drawn upon social and political theory, jurisprudence, history, philosophy, and political economy to explore the nature, politics, poetics, and practices of international law and its relevance to some of the major challenges of our time, including uneven development, civil war, humanitarian crises, and the legacies of colonial rule. It has been cited in publications across disciplines including anthropology, development studies, economics, European studies, geography, history, international law, international relations, philosophy, political economy, politics, sociology, theatre studies, theology, and women's studies, and translated into Finnish, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Anne is currently working on a four-year project exploring the development of population control, humanitarian aid, and market-oriented agrarian reform as transnational responses to food insecurity from the era of formal empire to the twenty-first century.
Among her recent lectures are: a European Society of International Law Lecture on 'Histories of International Law and Empire' (Paris, 2013); a Rechtskulturen Lecture entitled 'Concluding the Reformation? Peace, Protection, and Political Theology' (Berlin, 2012); a public lecture on 'The Responsibilty to Protect and the Legacy of Dag Hammarskjöld' (Uppsala, 2012); 'The Responsibilty to Protect after Libya' presented on the opening plenary panel of the 106th American Society of International Law Meeting (Washington, 2012); and a keynote lecture on 'International Interventions as Governance' (Gothenburg, 2011).
