Jo毛lle M. Cruz (Ph.D., Texas A&M University) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication. Building on postcolonial approaches, Jo毛lle is interested in rethinking and expanding what constitutes the 鈥渕argins鈥� in organizational communication. To this extent, she focuses on the interface between the following: (1) alternative organizational logics and forms (indigenous and grassroots modes of organizing), (2) cultural assumptions in organizational communication scholarship (3) and (3) globalization. Examples of projects have included women鈥檚 indigenous organizing in postconflict Liberia, LGBTQ grassroots organizing and political homophobia in C么te d'Ivoire and Liberia, and community organizing during and after the Ebola crisis in Liberia. Her work has appeared in Management Communication Quarterly, Organization: The Critical Journal of Organization, Theory, and Society, and Women鈥檚 Studies in Communication among other venues.
