Research Interest

"As a researcher, Ann’s work has focused on international, comparative, and socio-legal, feminist legal perspectives, particularly those that arise through taxation law.  In 2010, Ann was instrumental in the establishment of the Collaborative Research Network of the Law and Society Association (US), titled “International socio-legal feminisms.” She is also a founding member of the FemTax network of international, feminist tax law professors. She has been an invited speaker at numerous international conferences and symposia, and has supervised students successfully at PhD level.  Ann is the author of two monographs, Taxing Culture: Towards A Theory of Tax Collection Law (2002, Aldershot: Ashgate: Socio-Legal Studies Series; General Editor: Philip A. Thomas), and Tax Policy, Women and the Law: UK and Comparative Perspectives, Cambridge University Press (2010, Cambridge Tax Law Series – General Editor, John Tiley).  In 2008, she was invited to speak at a Tax Law Review symposium at New York University, resulting in the publication of “From Dahomey, to London, to D.C.”: ‘Marketing’ Wealth with the Proposals for a Comprehensive Inheritance Tax,” 63 Tax Law Review 221-257 (2009). Ann has established a broad body of work in socio-legal tax scholarship."
