Gina Luria Walker is Professor of Women's Studies and Director of The New Historia at The New School in New York City. She teaches Women's Intellectual History and is one of world's foremost scholars on eighteenth-century feminist intellectual Mary Hays and her circle.
Walker's core focus is recovering the lost contributions of historical women. In 2015, Walker partnered with the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum to direct Project Continua, a website devoted to female biographies. Her latest work in regaining women displaced from the historical record is The New Historia, a project that is an encyclopedia of female networks and intellectual contributions. This project will launch in March 2022.
Professor Walker previously held faculty appointments at Rutgers University and Sarah Lawrence College and is current a Professor of Women's Studies at The New School.
