She has special interest in English literature and literary theory, and did doctoral work in cultural studies with emphasis in 20th century French thought. Indeed, in 2000, she became one of two philosophers invited to [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~englinst/archive/2000/00_conf.html speak at the English Institute] in the seven decades of its history, the other being Stanley Cavell. She works on Karl Marx, Thomas Aquinas, John Stuart Mill, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Elizabeth Anscombe. She has emphasized the importance of a liberal arts education at the undergraduate level in various lectures, believing it extremely important that students learn critical thinking skills in college.

Professor Vogler is the author of "John Stuart Mill’s Deliberative Landscape: An Essay in Moral Psychology", published by Routledge in 2001, and "Reasonably Vicious", published by Harvard University Press in 2002.

Currently, she is editing the forthcoming Oxford Companion to John Stuart Mill.
