Gwen Nally (a.k.a. Edith Gwendolyn Nally) is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and affiliated faculty in the Classics Program and the Race, Ethnic, and Gender Studies Department at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. 

She studies Greek and Roman philosophy, and is heavily influenced by feminist philosophies, epistemology, and the philosophy of love, sex, and gender. She also has significant interests in the philosophy of race (especially in Greco-Roman sources), reproductive ethics, and motherhood.

Her coedited volume Believing Ancient Women: Feminist Epistemologies for Greece and Rome deploys feminist epistemological frameworks to critically reinterpret Greek and Roman literary, philosophical, and material sources. 

She is currently working on a book about Plato's erotic dialogues and care ethics, and is co-authoring a monograph (along with Mary Hamil Gilbert) titled Hecuba: Euripides' Politics of Care, which looks to ancient stagings of Hecuba for insights about motherhood and caregiving.

Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Conversation, and Philosophical Salon (LA Review of Books).
