As a developmental psychologist and identity scholar, Professor Rogers is interested in the mechanisms through which macro-level structures and ideologies of privilege and oppression are both perpetuated and disrupted at the micro-level of identities and relationships. Professor Rogers' projects focus on how racially and ethnically diverse children and adolescents make sense of their racial, ethnic, and gender identities in relation to oppressive ideologies and stereotypes; how identity processes develop over time and across sociocultural contexts; and the ways young people resist oppression and construct counternarratives and pathways toward liberation.
