Rosenblum, Noah

Noah A. Rosenblum studies modern European and American intellectual history, with a focus on the history of legal and political thought. His dissertation, “The Tribe of the Eagle: Presidential Democracy in Thought and Practice, 1927-1952,” explores the emergence of a modern presidency-based regime in the United States in Atlantic perspective. Other research interests include the migration of European intellectuals to the United States in the 1930s, post-Marxist French philosophy, and the history of democratic institutions. Noah pursued concurrent study at the Yale Law School, from which he received his J.D. in May, 2017.  In 2017 and 2018, he will serve judicial clerkships with Judge Jenny Rivera of the New York Court of Appeals and Judge Guido Calabresi of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
