Dr Kubra Uygur
Lecturer in Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour

Summary

Dr. Kübra Uygur is a Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour. With a strong academic background in history and sociology, her interdisciplinary approach brings a valuable perspective to her research and teaching.

Her Ph.D. research at the University of Birmingham focused on the cultural identity of Ottoman Armenians by examining Armeno-Turkish print media in the nineteenth-century Ottoman world. Dr. Uygur employed post-colonial and public sphere theories to analyse public opinion, cultural identity, and hybridity among ethnic minorities.

Dr. Uygur's research interests lie at the intersection of ethnic minorities, business history, historical marketing, and organisational behaviour. She explores the historical and cultural contexts in which ethnic minorities operate and critically examines the role of media and communication in shaping organisational behaviours and consumer culture.

Her works shed light on the experiences and dynamics of ethnic minorities, providing a deeper understanding of their historical and cultural dimensions. She seeks to bring a critical perspective to human resource management and organisational behaviour by incorporating her interdisciplinary knowledge into her research and teaching. In her courses, she encourages students to think critically and consider the historical and cultural underpinnings of organisational behaviour.

In addition to teaching, Dr Kübra Uygur is actively involved in research. She collaborates with esteemed scholars on ABS 4* publications and is currently working on a research project to be awarded by the BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grants.
