Anthi is interested in the broad field of political violence, including its various forms, reactions to it, and its effects.

Her current research with Joakim Kreutz, which focuses predominantly on Southeast Asia, analyses how state repression can trigger mass mobilisation.

Her work has been featured in Political Research Exchange.

In the future, Anthi is keen to research the effects of healing practices on the political realm and, more closely, on political violence.
