Karon Jolna was one of the first to earn a Women's Studies Ph.D. in North America.  Emory University awarded her a doctoral degree in 2003, based on her interdisciplinary dissertation, "Beyond Race and Gender? The New Managing Diversity for Women: A Dual Approach". 

Dr. Jolna is committed to bridging women's studies and business both inside and outside of the academy. As such, her first course for UCLA Extension, "How Does She Do It?  Top Women Executives Reveal Their Keys to Life and Work Success," integrates current feminist and management theory with the practical life experiences of women business leaders.

Dr. Jolna has also been a research scholar with the UCLA Center for the Study of Women since 2004.  She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and four-year-old son.

Women and business: working with diversity; the impact of globalization; organizational change; shattering the glass ceiling; how women achieve personal life and work success.
