During his thirty years of teaching and research (1970-2000), he offered courses in both the Psychology and Philosophy Departments. Dr. Rosen currently resides in Vancouver, Canada, where he is actively pursuing interdisciplinary interests that include phenomenological ontology, the philosophy and poetics of science, Jungian thought, the gender question, ecological change, and cultural transformation. After receiving his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the City University of New York in 1971, Rosen began to explore the foundations and frontiers of science, his work becoming interdisciplinary and philosophical in nature.
