Additional Information

Anat Rosenberg is Professor of Law and the Humanities at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, where she leads the Law and Humanities Hub (LHub)

Anat graduated with her LLB magna cum laude from Hebrew University and received her PhD in 2011 from Tel Aviv University. Before joining IALS she was an Associate Professor at Reichman University. She has been a visitor at EHESS – École des hautes études en sciences sociales, Paris (2024), the University of Cambridge (2017-2020), IALS (2017-2019), and Columbia University (2006-2007). She is also a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society; and co-founder of the Research Network on Enchantment in the History of Capitalism. 

Anat studies the history of modern capitalism, liberalism, and media, drawing on multidisciplinary methods in Law and the Humanities, including law and visuality, law and materiality, and law and literature. Her recent book addresses the cultural legal history of advertising in Britain c. 1840-1914. Her forthcoming projects include a co-edited special issue on enchantment in the history of capitalism; a contemporary history of affective propaganda and law in the attempted regime overhaul in Israel, which has been awarded an ISF research grant; and what she hopes will be a book-length transnational cultural legal history of propaganda. 

Anat welcomes proposals for the supervision of PhD students in her areas of expertise.
