Nassar's research explores connections between philosophical traditions and contemporary environmental concerns. She has made significant contributions to understanding romantic empiricism and its relevance to ecological thought, as well as recovering the neglected contributions of women philosophers to debates about nature and the human. Her work demonstrates how insights from German romanticism can inform current environmental challenges and ethical considerations.
Her publications reveal consistent engagement with Kant and German idealism, environmental philosophy, and women's philosophical contributions. Her recent work shows increasing focus on the embodied history of trees, plant philosophy, and multispecies ethics, reflecting contemporary environmental concerns while maintaining her historical philosophical expertise.
