Her scholarship has been published by Oxford University Press, Carolina Academic Press and Juris Publishing, and by the international law journals of Stanford, Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, and Berkeley, as well as by several other national and foreign law reviews. She is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and symposia around the world, including two Stanford-Yale Junior Faculty forums.

Professor Rogers is an Associate Reporter for the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law of International Commercial Arbitration and the recipient of the CPR Professional Article Award.
