Gail Davida Rosen

Gail Davida Rosen serves as a Teaching Professor of English in the Department of English and Philosophy at Drexel University. She has been the editor of the literary journal The 33rd since 2017 and teaches across the First-Year Writing program, Literature courses, and the Pennoni Honors College, demonstrating deep engagement with undergraduate education and literary curation.

Her academic foundation includes a Juris Doctor from Temple University School of Law (1987) and a Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric and Communications from Temple University (1984), providing a distinctive interdisciplinary lens for her work. This legal-communication background directly informs her scholarly approach to language and discourse.

Professor Rosen's research centers on rhetoric and composition with emphases on writing pedagogy, rhetorical theory application, and literary journal development. Her editorial leadership of The 33rd reflects sustained commitment to contemporary literature and emerging writer development, particularly exploring intersections between legal communication frameworks and rhetorical strategies in modern contexts.

As editor of The 33rd, she directs a collaborative student-faculty editorial team responsible for literary curation and production. While no specific grants or graduate student mentorship are documented in available materials, her institutional impact is evident through curriculum development in writing programs and cross-college teaching initiatives that bridge humanities education with practical communication skills.
