In 2008, Ackerman published "Behind the Looking Glass" [(ISBN 978-1847184863)] , offering another perspective in the contemporary deconstruction of the "Carroll Myth". The book offers a thorough examination of the nineteenth century Neoplatonic Revival in Great Britain, with special emphasis upon its influence on the writings of Lewis Carroll: conciliatory points between revived Neoplatonism, theosophy and spiritualism are identified. Ackerman is affiliated with ContrariWise: The Association for New Lewis Carroll Studies. [cite web | url=http://contrariwise.cc/aboutus.html | title=Contrariwise | accessdate=2008-09-13] Dodgson biographer Morton N. Cohen, in a recent article in the Times Literary Supplement labeled their position as 'revisionists' who were attempting to rewrite history. [cite journal | author=Cohen, Morton N. | title=When Love was Young | url=http://www.lewiscarroll.cc/cohenfulltext.html | journal=Times Literary Supplement | date=October 2003]

Ackerman is also a proponent of eco-spirituality and nature mysticism. ["Yoga for Equestrians: A New Path for Achieving Union with your Horse", by Linda Benedict and Veronica Wirth, Trafalgar Square Books, 2000. ] ["Philosophy in Practice: Dressage in the Fourth Dimension". Fifth International Conference on Philosophy in Practice; Wadham College, Oxford. June 10-11, 1999.] In 2008, she published a second edition of "Dressage in the Fourth Dimension" [(ISBN 978-1577316237)] . This book posits that humanity’s alienation from Nature can no longer be ignored. Ackerman claims that the enormity and immediacy of the crisis is evident.
