Research
Dr. Roger's research addresses human skeletal variability and its implications for forensic anthropology, including such topics as: sexual dimorphism, age-related changes, population variation, and individualization. She is pursuing research related to scene investigation, e.g. the application of GIS to forensic anthropology; presentation of evidence in court, e.g. issues of jury perception and comprehension; and ethics in forensic anthropology.
