Biography

Vijayta Doshi is Associate Professor of Organizational Behavoir and Human Resource Management at the Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur, India.

"Excellently conceived and executed, this volume welcomes readers into a world where the postcolonial emerges through the works and experiences of MOS scholars in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Postcolonial feminism interrogates what colonialism 'left behind' and helps forward affirmative possibilities with local knowledges as decolonizing practices."

Professor Marta B. Calás, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA

"Bringing together lenses of postcolonial feminism, management and organization studies, and South Asia which do not often appear together in literature, this book weaves together a rich tapestry of ideas, arguments, and provocations that need to inform ongoing and future work on decolonizing management studies."

Professor Nimruji Jammulamadaka, IIM Calcutta

"The edited collection by Vijayta Doshi, provides a much needed anthology on important and under-researched issues that concern us all, examined through a wide-ranging and original work of postcolonial feminist theory and practice. Organizational scholars and students alike will find Postcolonial Feminism in Management and Organization Studies: Critical Perspectives from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh an invaluable compendium for expanding their thinking, research, and teaching."
