A four-time winner of the Harvard Certificate for Excellence in Teaching. Professor Andrew Lear has taught art history and Classics at Harvard, Columbia, and NYU. Lear is the founder of Oscar Wilde Tours, the first company to offer tours focused on LGBT history, and the winner of the Travel Industry’s 2016 Travvy Award for best-escorted tour operator, LGBT; and the Luxury Travel Guide’s 2016 LGBT Tour Operator of the Year. Lear also founded Shady Ladies Tours, dedicated to sharing the stories of strong and powerful women that can be found on the walls of museums. In 2021, Lear founded WeWereThere.org, an educational nonprofit dedicated to raising public awareness of LGBTQ histories and stories.
Throughout history, there have been courageous women—brave, sometimes outspoken path-breakers who made themselves heard in a male-centric world.
