Dr. Rosen’s research is focused on studying individuals’ motivations for engaging in drug use, and how those motivations relate to the risk of developing substance use disorders and addictions. Dr. Rosen’s courses on Addictive Behaviours and Behavioural Pharmacology provide students with an empathetic lens to help them understand addictions and their intersections with mental illness, poverty, and homelessness. These courses are also informed by Dr. Rosen’s community-based research with non-profit and government organizations, including the United Way of Perth-Huron and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.
