Anna’s research lies primarily in legal philosophy, also drawing on moral and political philosophy, legal history, in particular Soviet law, and public law. She is interested in the jurisprudence of atypical legalities such as evil regimes, pre-legal and post-legal societies, and even supernatural settings and imagined realities. Anna's PhD thesis, which she is currently working on transforming into a monograph, was entitled ‘Towards a Jurisprudence of Evil Law’ and focused on the relationship between law and extreme moral iniquity, both generally and with regard to Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union, and slavery in the antebellum United States.
