Anderson's current research is devoted to four projects. (1) She is writing a short book, entitled Can We Talk?, which defends a democratic ethos of political communication among citizens that addresses our current crisis of extreme polarization. (2) She is exploring the conditions for the emergence and stability of social equality, focusing on the challenges to creating a society of equals. (3) She has a long-term project advancing and updating pragmatist moral epistemology, taking the abolition of slavery as its central case study. (4) Finally, Anderson is working on questions of workplace governance, meaningful work, and justice in the workplace. Her forthcoming book, Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic Against Workers, and How Workers Can Take It Back (Cambridge University Press, 2023) explores the history of the Protestant work ethic from the 17th century to the present, its current neoliberal version, and alternative work ethic traditions that offer resources for workers to pursue meaningful work, autonomy at work, and a more just economy.
