Jordan Rogers is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at North Carolina State University, specializing in Ancient History with a focus on the ancient Mediterranean. His research centers on urban sociology in antiquity, particularly the interplay between spatial contexts, communal norms, and individual agency in Republican Rome. He co-edited Working Lives in Ancient Rome (2024), exploring labor's role in Roman society. His current monograph project examines neighborliness and community in Republican Rome, arguing that urban spaces were dynamically shaped by inhabitants' practices. Rogers has conducted fieldwork with the Pompeii I.14 Project, uncovering insights into the city’s social and economic history through excavations and graffiti analysis.
