Dr. Sarah D. Rozenblum is a Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University’s Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, a health policy researcher with the World Health Organization, and an incoming Tenure-Track Assistant Professor of Political Science at Marquette University. Her research examines how health and social policies are designed within the executive and legislative branches of government in the U.S. and other high-income countries, with a focus on improving health outcomes for vulnerable populations. She also explores how policymakers mobilize scientific expertise and institutions in policy development and implementation. At Cornell, she is engaged in several research projects on U.S. states’ child tax credit policies, examining how policy design can exacerbate or reduce disparities among marginalized communities.
She received a dual Ph.D. in Political Science and Public Health from the University of Michigan in 2023 and a Master’s degree in Public Affairs from Sciences Po Paris in 2015. Before beginning her doctoral studies, she worked in both the public and private sectors in France.
