Together with a colleague, she developed a successful course of study for CUNY students to compete for national fellowships. She has since served as public affairs consultant to many institutions of higher education, including the Bank Street College of Education, the Graduate Center of CUNY, and Georgetown University.
Professor Rosen has published in a variety of arenas. She was a political reporter for the Soho Weekly News and a legal reporter for American Lawyer Publications, and has written on the defenseof entrapment for a book on proving specific criminal defenses. Her essay about the loss of her parents was published in an anthology on death in Western culture, titled The Grim Reader. She has also published on the law and literature movement, analyzing the importance of law to the poetry of Wallace Stevens. Her graduate work—on literary commentary on the doctrine of natural law—received two awards, a dissertation fellowship from the CUNY Graduate Center, and a Littleton Griswold award from the American Historical Association. |
