Anne's research centers on the experiences of German POWs in the UK during WWI, particularly at the Raikeswood Camp in Skipton. She explores coping strategies, cultural activities, delayed repatriation, and mental health impacts. Her interdisciplinary approach combines historical analysis with translation and corpus linguistics. She has led public engagement initiatives with Craven Museum and Skipton Library, and translated key historical texts.

Her publications and conference presentations reveal a strong focus on military captivity, cultural resilience, and translation as a historical tool. Themes include transnational prisoner movement, legacy of war, and the use of translation in preserving historical memory.
