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) MA in Sociology, Duke University (2008) MA in Psychology, Wake Forest University (2005) 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.
