Dr. Cho's scholarly pursuits are rooted in the belief that institutional change is critically necessary to move us closer to a more just, equitable society. Through systems of schooling (specifically within colleges and universities), she explores the spectrum within organizational function and arguably, dysfunction, to examine how their mission, vision, and values are at odds with their practices, policies, and cultures. These mismaches disproportionately impact the experiences marginalized students, faculty, administrators, and staff and result in 3 strands of research: (1) how colleges and universities respond to (campus) racism and student activism; (2) how campus cultures of support and push-out marginalized students, faculty, and staff through their diversity, equity, and inclusion work; and (3) how Higher Education constructs academic socialization, navigation, and knowledge production and what the ways we can challenge its toxicity and harmful practices.
