She holds a doctorate degree in literature and drama from Howard University and two bachelor’s degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where she won the coveted Mellon Mays Fellowship. Dr. Rogers is a co-founder of the Edward Alexander Bouchét National Graduate Honor Society, which has chapters at Yale, Stanford, and other prominent universities across the nation. She is the faculty advisor to the 2022 Battle of the Brains national championship team from Fisk University where she is a faculty member in the English Discipline.
In previous roles, La Tanya Rogers served as a Communications Coordinator for the financial firm, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.; a translator for the United States Embassy in Madrid, Spain; an assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of the District of Columbia; and a performance-review board member at the US Department of State and the US Department of Commerce. She has led nearly 100 undergraduate students on study abroad tours to countries such as France, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, and Egypt. She has lived, researched, and worked in São Paulo, Brazil, and Madrid, Spain. She is a published author on subjects ranging from contemporary playwrights in the United States to economic racism in Brazil.
During 2022, Dr. Rogers participated in the NEH-sponsored Born-Digital Scholarly Publishing Institute at Brown University. During that Institute, she resolved to collaborate with the Brown University Digital Publications team to increase the prestige and popularity of digital scholarship among university faculties. As a result, her latest article on dramatic literature has appeared in the Black Theatre Review (tBTR)—a national, refereed, digital journal. Moreover, she is a featured faculty member on a grant partnership that focuses on HBCU library involvement in digital scholarship. Dr. Rogers is currently working on a manuscript that outlines a theoretical trope in the plays written by Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. This manuscript is a digital publication with a print compendium.
