Taylor Rogers, PhD, will present on “Anti-Racist Health Workforce Research and Policy Framework”. 

Speaker:

Taylor Rogers is a Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Hawaii Manoa Thompson School of Social Work and Public Health. Her research uses mixed methods to examine how structural racism shapes entry into and advancement within the population health workforce. She focuses on workforce development and retention among systematically underrepresented communities and investigates how workplace and educational inequities influence career trajectories, policies, and population health outcomes.

As a full spectrum birth and postpartum doula, Dr. Rogers brings a practice-based perspective to her scholarship. Supporting Black families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has given her a grounded understanding of how inequities affect patients and providers alike. This practice informs her academic work and strengthens her commitment to advancing workforce strategies that are equity-driven, culturally responsive, community-centered, and rooted in tradition.

Prior to joining UH Mānoa, Dr. Rogers was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Healthforce Center and the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California, San Francisco.
