Gabriel Rosenberg
Associate Professor of gender, sexuality & feminist studies
I grew up in Indiana and have lived all over. Parts of my soul are lodged in Mumbai and Berlin. I have a PhD in history, but I’m a feral thinker who writes about sex, animals, food, law, politics, science, and technology. I like to write and read and dance and walk. I don’t eat meat and I don’t like cars. But I do know how to make the best steak you'll ever have in your entire life (I used to work in kitchens) and I will cook it for you if you ask me to (this is a real offer but comes with serious conditions). I like animals, music, dancing, and I have a radio show where I play vinyl records. I also like to run, lift weights, watch movies, and get tattoos. Ask me anything.
What are you most looking forward to as a Faculty Fellow?
I enjoy talking with students.
What advice would you give to current undergraduates?
If you've never done so, go on an overnight trip somewhere far away without your phone, computer, or any digital device. Don't bring them with you. Use a paper map and your wits.
What is something you think students should know during their time at Duke?
The things you learn at Duke that will be useful for you in the future are almost certainly not what you think they will be nor what you are planning for.
