Anderson's research covers ethics in sports and sports health care. A 2019 paper by Anderson and colleagues Alison Heather and Taryn Knox examined the issue of trans women in elite sport, and argued that trans women had a physiological advantage over other women, and that the gender binary of sports should be changed to 'a more nuanced approach'.{{Cite web |last=Sciences |first=Division of Health |date=2019-07-17 |title=Otago researchers call for gender binary in elite sports to be abandoned to cater for trans-athletes |url=https://www.otago.ac.nz/healthsciences/news/news/otago-researchers-call-for-gender-binary-in-elite-sports-to-be-abandoned-to-cater-for-trans-athletes |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=www.otago.ac.nz |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Caldwell |first=Olivia |date=17 July 2019 |title=Researchers claim testosterone cap won't fix trans athletes' 'unfair advantage' |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/114291291/otago-university-researchers-call-for-new-sporting-categories-due-to-trans-athletes-unfair-advantage |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=www.stuff.co.nz}}{{Cite web |date=2019-07-17 |title=Trans women have physiological advantage – University of Otago research |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/394615/trans-women-have-physiological-advantage-university-of-otago-research |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=RNZ |language=en-nz}}{{Cite news |last=Munro |first=Bruce |date=2021-07-26 |title=An Olympics inclusive of all |url=https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/olympics/olympics-inclusive-all |access-date=2024-04-09 |work=Otago Daily Times |language=en}} Anderson also researched the ethics of sending athletes to compete during a pandemic.
