Anne E. Duggan is a historian and medievalist known for scholarship on Late Antiquity, Carolingian studies, monasticism, and hagiography. Her work situates ecclesiastical institutions, bishops, and legal cultures within broader networks of patronage and liturgy, engaging with manuscript studies, prosopography, and archival research. She has held academic appointments and contributed to edited volumes and journals that bridge medieval studies, church history, and diplomatic correspondence.
Born in the latter half of the 20th century, Duggan completed undergraduate and graduate study with a focus on medieval history and Latin paleography. She undertook advanced training that included coursework and research in palaeography at institutes associated with University of Oxford, King's College London, and archives related to the British Library and Bibliothèque nationale de France. Her doctoral work examined episcopal administration, canonical procedure, and the circulation of letters among bishops in the context of the Carolingian Empire, drawing on sources from diocesan archives in regions connected to Aix-la-Chapelle and Reims.
Duggan has held faculty and research positions at universities and research centers in the United Kingdom and internationally, teaching courses across departments that include medieval history, church history, and Latin language studies. She has been affiliated with graduate programs that interact with the scholarly communities associated with Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Institute for Advanced Study, and national academies such as the British Academy. Her academic appointments involved supervision of theses that engage primary sources housed at institutions like the Vatican Library, Bodleian Libraries, and municipal archives in France and Germany. She has participated in collaborative projects alongside scholars connected to École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and Universität München.
Duggan's research has focused on episcopal administration in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, monastic reform movements, liturgical texts, and the transmission of saintly vitae. Her publications include monographs, edited volumes, and numerous articles in journals associated with medieval studies, such as those published by the Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and specialist periodicals connected to the Royal Historical Society and regional learned societies in France and Italy. She has edited source collections that bring together charters, capitularies, and correspondence from archives like those of Chartres Cathedral and Tours Cathedral. Her work engages comparative perspectives with scholarship on the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and regional polities such as Aquitaine and Burgundy.
Duggan has contributed to interdisciplinary volumes alongside historians who study figures and institutions such as Gregory of Tours, Isidore of Seville, Charlemagne, Pope Gregory VII, and Hildegard of Bingen, and she has examined interactions reflected in documentary corpora linked to councils such as the Council of Trent and earlier synods. Her editions of episcopal letters and sermonic texts have been used in prosopographical projects tied to databases maintained by institutions like the International Medieval Bibliography and collaborative research initiatives funded by entities including the European Research Council.
As a lecturer and supervisor, Duggan has taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses on medieval institutions, Latin palaeography, manuscript studies, and the historiography of medieval saints. Her seminars have integrated primary-source workshops using facsimiles from the Vatican Apostolic Archive, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, and digitized holdings from university special collections such as those at Trinity College Dublin and Cambridge University Library. She has supervised doctoral dissertations that connect to comparative projects on episcopal networks, monastic reform, and legal culture, mentoring students who have gone on to posts at institutions like Yale University, Columbia University, and national research councils.
Duggan's scholarship has been recognized with fellowships and awards from academic bodies and trusts supporting medieval studies. Her honors include research fellowships associated with the British Academy, grants from national funding agencies such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and visiting fellowships at centers including the Institute for Historical Research and the School of Advanced Study.
