Roger Hodge (born 1967 in
Pocatello,
Texas,
U.S.) is the editor of
Harper's Magazine. Hodge attended the
University of the South. He began graduate work at the
New School for Social Research and completed a master's degree, but joined
Harper's before finishing his dissertation. Hodge first came to
Harper's as an intern in 1996 and was subsequently hired as a fact checker. Over the following eight years Hodge was named to several editorial positions, and in 2004 was named Deputy Editor. In spring 2006 he replaced
Lewis H. Lapham as editor.
In March 2006, Hodge generated publicity along with criticism from the
scientific community when he edited "Out Of Control: AIDS and the corruption of medical science," an article by the controversial
AIDS denialist Celia Farber which put forth the claim that
HIV is not the cause of
AIDS.
