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.
