Katherine S. Cho
Assistant Professor and Chair of Higher Education
Since arriving at Loyola's School of Education in 2022, Cho has proven to be a prolific and impactful researcher. Over her first three years on campus, she has published 10 peer-reviewed articles and three book chapters.
Informed by her experiences as a higher education administrator, student affairs professional, and staffer at an educational nonprofit, Cho’s research investigates the institutional dynamics of higher education. She examines how colleges and universities serve as sites of transformation toward social justice as well as sites of harm and violence, addressing topics such as campus activism, institutionalized racism, labor, retention efforts, and academic socialization. With a particular interest in illuminating the experiences of marginalized groups, she consistently questions how colleges can rehumanize education and best serve students, staff, and faculty.
