She is also senior editor of Industrial Relations Around the World, an international book of readings. In addition to her teaching and research, Rothman works with individuals as well as large and small organizations in the public and private sectors as a Human Resource Management Consultant. She conducts workshops and trainings around the world on a variety of management topics, including leadership development and is a frequent contributor to television and newspaper stories reflecting contemporary organizational issues. Rothman also provides expert witness consulting and testimony in wrongful termination and discrimination cases. She has been adjunct faculty with the Center for Creative Leadership since 1988 where she is a certified trainer, feedback consultant, and executive coach for several of their programs. Within the community, she serves as chair of the Personnel Commission for the County Office of Education and serves on the Board of Directors for Community Research Foundation. She has volunteered as an arbitrator with the County Bar Association, a mediator for the National Center on Conflict Resolution and since 1986 has served as consulting editor for the Journal of Business and Psychology. Rothman joined the faculty of USD in 1984.
