Anne Heath has taught at Hope College since 2007. She teaches Introduction to Art History and courses in Medieval, Islamic, Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture, all of which take a global approach to these art historical periods. Her upper-level seminars include topics such as introduction to theory and methods, historical artistic techniques and the activation of the senses in pre-modern art. She also teaches seminars in which students have curated exhibitions for the De Pree Gallery, such asThe Printed Image(2008) andReading between the Lines(2011). Students have also proposed a redesign of the Dutch painting galleries for the Holland Museum (2014) and have assisted in exhibitions for the Kruizenga Art Museum (2017, 2019). All of Dr. Heath’s classes stress first-hand experience with works of art through field trips, object-specific projects and hands-on, professional training.

在研究生学习期间，希斯博士在意大利和法国从事考古发掘工作，并在法国进行了广泛的档案研究，得到了Samuel H. Kress基金会、格雷厄姆基金会和布朗大学的支持。她的专业领域是哥特式建筑，以及它在创造崇拜空间、政治权力和社会身份方面的角色，在参与者和观众中发挥作用。

Dr. Heath has received grants and awards for her research and teaching, which have enabled her to travel in the United States and abroad to conduct archival and fieldwork research. Her publications focus on the social, political and spiritual dimensions of art, architecture and visual culture of the Middle Ages. Dr. Heath has a particular interest in the material presence of art objects, as well as the holistic sensory impact of medieval spaces.

目前，希斯博士正在法国Vendôme的本笃会修道院(La Trinité)进行一项关于视觉和表演文化的研究，研究长度为一本书。她让学生参与一个正在进行的跨学科、多阶段的合作研究项目，通过录音、绘图和互动地图重建La Trinité的建筑、视觉文化和音乐。她还与布里尔出版公司(Brill Publishing)签约编辑了一卷论文集，讲述观众如何与中世纪环境互动。
