[5] Andrea Nye is also a member of the Liberal Studies Division at the Boston Conservatory teaching interdisciplinary courses in the Humanities.
[9][10] In subsequent work, Nye turned more specifically to issues related to gender in language, the place of women in the history of philosophy, and feminist theory.
[11] Reviving the work of neglected or misinterpreted women thinkers was of special interest in later work,[1] including translations and commentary on the letters of Elisabeth of the Palatinate to René Descartes (The Princess and the Philosopher), the political thought of Rosa Luxemburg, Hannah Arendt, and Simone Weil (Philosophia), and Diotima's teaching on erotic desire in Plato's Symposium (hl)(Socrates and Diotima).
[1] Most recently, Nye's interests have turned to the environment, climate change, and the gap between ecological theorizing and environmental practice.
In her most recent book Ecology on the ground and in the Clouds, she compares the life and thought of "inventor of nature" Alexander Humboldt to projects of conservation and sustainable farming in Argentina and Brazil initiated by his botanist travel companion Aimé Bonpland.
