Katrina Cordray Rose (born circa 1960) is an American legal historian whose primary field is an amalgamation of gender, sexuality and the law in the United States.
Rose is also a prominent critic of fellow historian Alice Dreger, whose exploitation of sex and gender minorities has been a major part of her academic career. Dreger, who presents herself as an “academic freedom” activist, tried to stop Rose from discussing problems with Dreger’s work at the 2008 National Women’s Studies Association conference.
