At the graduate level, he has led seminars on 'Art and Value', 'Theories of the Comic', Theodor Adorno's 'Aesthetic Theory', Walter Benjamin's 'Arcades Project', and Gershom Scholem's 'Philosophy of History and Language'. Before joining the faculty at the University of California, San Diego, Rose taught at the University of Vermont and the University of California, Berkeley.
