Anne Ruggles Gere (also known as Anne Gere) is an American scholar in the field of language education and literacy. She has published widely on topics such as the history of writing groups, best practices in literacy education, and the best practices in culturally responsive pedagogy.

Ruggles Gere has served as president of the Modern Language Association[1], National Council of Teachers of English[2], and the Conference on College Composition and Communication[3]. Additionally, she has served as the chair of University of Michigan's Joint Program in English and Education since 1988[4], participating in over 100 dissertation committees, many of whom have built on her research.

She is the Arthur F. Thurnau Collegiate professor of English[5] and the Gertrude Buck Professor of Education[6] at the University of Michigan[7], and her academic research has focused on the evolution of writing groups[8][9], the history of women's clubs[10][11], and writing pedagogy[12][13]. Her research examines how literacy practices in women's clubs empowered active collaboration—juxtaposing with common characterizations of writers as solitary and women as disempowered. She asserts that clubwomen engaged in social, economic, and political issues that shaped the nation.

In 2018, she was awarded the Distinguished Professor of the Year for all public post-secondary education in the state of Michigan[14]. Her research has been funded by grants from the Mellon Foundation, the National Science Foundation, Humanities Collaboratory, as well as the Department of Education. Additionally, she has received awards from Spencer Foundation from the National Academy of Education, National Women's Studies Association, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
