Karen joins the Team
We are delighted that Karen Lee Ashcraft has agreed to join the Human Relations Editorial Team later this year.
Karen Lee Ashcraft is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT, USA. Her work examines relations of power as they unfold in organizational forms and occupational identities, and has appeared in such outlets as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, Communication Theory, and Management Communication Quarterly. Her co-authored book with Dennis Mumby, Reworking Gender, revisits the relationship between critical and feminist organization theory, proposing and illustrating an alternative model through the lens of communication. Currently, she is drawing on qualitative research with commercial airline pilots to write a book about the role of gender, race, and sexuality in the evolution of professional identity and occupational segregation.
