Gina Luria Walker

Gina Luria Walker is professor of women's studies and director of a web-based resource about women, The New Historia, at The New School in New York City. She teaches women's intellectual history, and is an expert on eighteenth-century feminist intellectual Mary Hays and her circle. Walker produced the first contemporary scholarly edition of Hays's major work, Female Biography; or, Memoirs of Illustrious and Celebrated Women of All Ages and Countries.

Walker's focus is on recovering lost contributions of women. In 2015, Walker worked with the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum to direct Project Continua, a website of female biographies. Her latest work in recovering women displaced from the historical record is The New Historia, a project that is an encyclopedia of female networks and intellectual contributions. Her collaborator on this project is information architect Lisa Strausfeld, and together their vision is to create a "Google Earth for knowledge."

Walker previously held faculty appointments at Rutgers University and Sarah Lawrence College, and is a professor of women's studies at The New School.
