Tristan J. Rogers

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization  at the The University of Colorado Boulder. I was previously a Lecturer in Philosophy at UC Davis and CSU, Sacramento. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Arizona in 2017. 

I work in political philosophy, ethics, and ancient philosophy. My book, The Authority of Virtue: Institutions and Character in the Good Society, was published by Routledge in November 2020. You can read a précis of the book here. I am currently working on my next book, under contract with Routledge, tentatively titled Conservatism Past and Present: A Philosophical Introduction.

I grew up in Canada and studied at Concordia University and Queen’s University before coming to the United States for graduate school. I live in Sacramento with my wife, two daughters, and dog, Argos. In my spare time, I enjoy writing and playing music, some of which you can find here.
