Professor Rosenberg specializes in the social and political history of modern Europe, especially France, and on the relationship between the continent and its colonial hinterlands. He has  published a book on immigration control and the transformation of citizenship in interwar France and is part of a team preparing a concise edition of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart (Norton).  His current research concerns the spread of tuberculosis from France to Algeria and back, and efforts to combat it, from 1830 to the present.
