JEFFREY ROSEN
President and CEO, National Constitution Center
Jeffrey Rosen is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Constitution Center, the only
institution in America chartered by Congress “to disseminate information about the United States
Constitution on a non-partisan basis.” Housed in a Pei-Cobb building across from Independence Hall and
the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, the Constitution Center engages millions of citizens as an interactive
museum, national town hall, and headquarters for civic education.
Rosen is also a professor at The George Washington University Law School. He is a nonresident senior
fellow at the Brookings Institution, where he explores issues involving the future of technology and the
Constitution. He has recorded a lecture series for the Teaching Company’s Great Courses on Privacy,
Property, and Free Speech: Law and the Constitution in the 21st Century. Since 2000, he has served as a
moderator at The Aspen Institute, where he conducts seminars and panels on technology and the
Constitution, privacy, and free speech and democracy.
He is a highly regarded journalist whose essays and commentaries have appeared in the New York Times
Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, on National Public Radio, and in The New Yorker, where he has been a
staff writer. The Chicago Tribune named him one of the 10 best magazine journalists in America and a
reviewer for the Los Angeles Times called him "the nation's most widely read and influential legal
commentator.” He received the 2012 Golden Pen Award from the Legal Writing Institute for his
“extraordinary contribution to the cause of better legal writing.”
Rosen is the author of several books including The Supreme Court: The Personalities and
Rivalries that Defined America; The Most Democratic Branch: How the Courts Serve America;
The Naked Crowd: Reclaiming Security and Freedom in an Anxious Age; and The Unwanted
Gaze: The Destruction of Privacy in America. His most recent book, as co-editor, is Constitution
3.0: Freedom and Technological Change. Books about Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis and
President William Howard Taft are forthcoming.
Rosen is a graduate of Harvard College; Oxford University, where he was a Marshall Scholar; and Yale
Law School.
