Prof. Rogers’ scholarship focuses on how labor and employment laws shape class formation processes, especially among low-wage and marginalized workers.

 

Prof. Rogers’ book Data and Democracy at Work (The MIT Press, 2023) shows how employers have used novel information technologies including robotics, machine learning, and nascent forms of artificial intelligence to erode workers’ collective power, and how our labor laws facilitated such efforts.

 

Prof. Rogers’ law review articles have been published in various journals including the Yale Law Journal, Texas Law Review, and Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, and have been cited in at least two landmark cases. Professor Rogers has also taught at Temple University Beasley School of Law, as a member of the tenurial faculty, and at Harvard Law School as a Climenko Fellow, and held visiting positions at Washington University in St. Louis and at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy, and was previously an external Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute.
