Biography

Dr Uma Jogulu is a Senior Lecturer at Edith Cowan University, Australia. Prior to this appointment, she was a senior lecture at Monash University and Deakin University. While employed at Deakin University Dr Uma was awarded the Australian Discovery grant (DP1092722) to investigate career aspirations of Australia’s immigrant managers and to develop a cross-cultural framework. The ARC Discovery funding allowed for two notable impact and achievement recognition at the American Academy of Management Conference in 2016 with a paper entitled I’m Not Sure if that was a Cultural Thing”: Stories from Non-English-Speaking Background Skilled Migrant Women in Australia being nominated for the Best International Paper award and the best paper award at ANZAM conference in 2011 for a paper entitled Asia Pacific Immigrant Managers in Australia: their views about career.

Uma has published in leading refereed journals and engages in the scholarship with great passion. Her paper in the Journal of Business Ethics (Financial Times top 50 journal, ABDC 'A' journal,  Citescore top 10%, JIF: 3.796, Google Scholar cites: h5-index of 98) on ‘Organizational Caregiving’ is based on an ethics of care perspective, highlighting how invested relational understanding, attitude, intent and acts of care can enrich the organizational work experiences of employees. Uma also inductively applies her conceptual understanding as a way of guiding data analysis and interpretation. Her paper explaining the novelty of the method that brings qualitative rigor is recently published in Sociological Methods and Research (ABDC-A; Scopus SCIMAGO Q1/Citescore top 10%; JIF=3.102): Letting a Picture Speak a Thousand Words: Arts-Based Research in a Study of the Careers of Female Academics.
