Lisa Norling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lisa Norling is a U.S. historian noted for her pioneering work on gender and the sea. As such she is part of a new move in maritime historiography to examine gender, race and class in relation to seafaring labor, passengers and people in port cities (i.e. interfaces with the sea).

Life[]

She graduated from Cornell University, magna cum laude, and from Rutgers University with a Ph.D. She teaches at the University of Minnesota.[1] She also teaches at the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime Studies at Mystic Seaport,[2] and serves as a consultant to the USS Constitution Museum.

She became involved in the Minnesota "Profile of Learning" controversy.[3][4]

In 1994, she married Steven Ruggles, another historian. She currently lives in Minneapolis with her two children and her husband.
