Biography
Katie Kaufman Rogers is a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, where she is also an affiliate of the Urban Ethnography Lab and completing a doctoral portfolio in Women's and Gender Studies. Her research has received awards from the American Sociological Association, Sociologists for Women in Society, and the UT Center for Women and Gender Studies, and is funded by the National Science Foundation and the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice. Katie's dissertation “Breaking the 'Grass Ceiling'? An Intersectional Analysis of Women's Work in the U.S. Cannabis Industry” uses 50 in-depth interviews, a year of participant observation, and media analyses to examine women's participation in the multibillion-dollar U.S. cannabis industry during the post-prohibition era, where state legalizations coincide with federal criminalization.
