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 families and parenting.

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 working on a book titled Plato's Ethics of Care, which reinterprets the erotic dialogues through the lens of contemporary care-ethical movements, and is co-authoring a monograph (along with Mary Hamil Gilbert) titled 'She Is My City:' Euripides' Politics of Care, which looks to ancient stagings of Hecuba for insights about the political dimensions of motherhood and caregiving.

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