A social and cultural historian of the Jews of Central Europe, Dr. Rozenblit has published The Jews of Vienna, 1867-1914: Assimilation and Identity (1984), which also appeared in a German translation (1989). This book used quantified methods to explore the impact of immigration, social mobility, residential concentration, education, and intermarriage and conversion on the integration of Viennese Jews into Austro-German society. Recently she has written Reconstructing a National Identity: The Jews of Habsburg Austria During World War I (Oxford, 2001), which explores how the Jews, a group profoundly loyal to the multinational Monarchy, coped with the collapse of that supranational state and the creation of nation-states. Dr. Rozenblit has also written many articles on such subjects as Jewish religious reform in nineteenth-century Vienna, synagogue selection in nineteenth-century Baltimore, and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America during the Holocaust.
Dr. Rozenblit has held fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the University of Maryland's General Research Board. She served on the editorial boards of the Association for Jewish Studies Review and Jewish Social Studies, and regularly evaluates manuscripts for journals, presses, the NEH, and the Dissertation Prize Committee of the Austrian Cultural Institute. She was the Director of the Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Studies from 1998-2003. She is also a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research.
