Rošker received her PhD from the University of Vienna in 1988 for her thesis Theories of the State and Anarchist Criticism of the State in China at the Turn of the Century (original in German: 'Staatstheorien und anarchistische Staatskritik in China um die Jahrhundertwende'). During her studies and later in life, she spent over ten years in People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
