Her research focuses on German and Austrian literature and culture from the late 19th century to the present, with particular emphasis on gender studies, modernist narratives, and cultural hybridity. She has published extensively on authors such as Arthur Schnitzler, Yoko Tawada, and Ricarda Huch, examining themes like visual metaphors, border dynamics, and the interplay between public and private identities.
Anderson's work bridges literary analysis with historical context, exploring how texts negotiate cultural memory and identity. Her scholarship spans from fin-de-siècle Vienna to post-unification Germany, addressing topics ranging from narrative translation to authorial self-representation. She has contributed to interdisciplinary dialogues on cinema, gender, and environmental symbolism, reflecting her commitment to connecting literature with broader socio-cultural frameworks.
Her publications include groundbreaking analyses of Yoko Tawada's transnational narratives and Arthur Schnitzler's exploration of voyeurism. She has also examined the role of borders in contemporary German literature and the intersection of medical humanities with dramatic works. Anderson's research demonstrates a sustained engagement with questions of cultural mediation, identity politics, and the evolution of narrative forms across historical periods.
