Kimberly B. Rogers is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth College, where she has been employed since 2015. She is affiliated with the Quantitative Social Science Program and the Neukom Institute for Computational Science. Her research focuses on how inequalities are produced, maintained, and resisted through behavior and emotion dynamics in social interactions, with particular attention to status and power hierarchies, occupational inequality, and mental health outcomes. She teaches courses such as Introductory Sociology, Research Methods, and Status and Power in Social Interaction, integrating computational tools into her pedagogy.
- PhD in Sociology, Duke University (2013)

- BA in Psychology, Randolph-Macon Woman's College (2003)
Rogers' research spans three key areas: cultural consensus in identity sentiments, behavioral/emotional responses to inequality, and computational modeling of social processes. Her work reveals how micro-social mechanisms perpetuate or disrupt status hierarchies across contexts like occupational roles, racialized interactions, and digital collaboration. Recent publications examine technological co-diffusion, pandemic-induced identity shifts, and gendered occupational perceptions.
Her scholarly output follows trends in computational social science and cross-cultural emotion analysis. She employs Bayesian affect control theory to model dynamic identity processes and uncertainty in interactions, while her 2025 work on violence against women demonstrates applications of general strain theory to contemporary social issues.
