Doug Rogers (Ph.D., Michigan, 2004) is Assistant Professor of Anthropology. Curriculum Vitae

His research and teaching interests include political and economic anthropology, the anthropology of religion, and socialist societies and their postsocialist trajectories. The intersection of these topics has led him to theories of ethics, morality, and materiality in anthropology and broader social and cultural theory, the subject of his forthcoming book, An Ethical Repertoire: Work, Prayer, and History in the Russian Urals, 1698-2008 (Cornell University Press).In 2007, he began work on a new ethnography-based project about transformations of state and culture in Russia's oil boom. Rogers has done archival and ethnographic research in Russia since 1994, often in collaboration with scholars from Moscow State University, Perm State University, and the Perm Regional Museums.

He received his B.A. degree from Middlebury College, an M.Phil. in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Before joining the faculty at Yale, Rogers taught at Miami University of Ohio and was a Kennan Institute fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
