E. Areas in which research is done
Dr. Rothenberg has a dual research focus: service-learning in graduate
social work education and trauma recovery. Both of these areas seem to
complement and integrate her many years of social work practice in
community settings with traumatized populations, specifically runaway
and homeless youth and burn survivors, with her interest in experiential
education. The common thread is a focus on resiliency both in social
work students’ professional identity development and an integration of a
strengths-based focus via experiential learning processes such as servicelearning.
Thus, through primarily qualitative methodology, Dr.
Rothenberg has explored both social work professional identity
development through service-learning and personal value development
through recovery from trauma. A new area of focus is the use of
expressive arts in social work education and with use of clients for
empowerment and social action.
F. Supervision of student research
Doctoral Committees of students who have graduated (since 1998).
Independent Study, Doctoral Research
Directed two doctoral students in independent research courses: Both
students’ work have culminated in submissions to peer-reviewed journals.
Independent Study, MSW Program

independent study coursework. Additionally, she supervised 22 burn
camp students in a one-credit research project for elective credit.
G. Editorship or editorial review boards:
