Sojin Cho

Sojin is interested in exploring writing as performance on the page and reframing writing at the intersection of multimodal composition, materiality, and embodied act of making. Their current work focuses on artists' books as a model for transgressive composition pedagogy, carving out an interdisciplinary niche across rhetoric and composition, performance studies, and visual arts. Sojin is intrigued by moments when the material and nonlinear nature of artists' books accentuate the visceral and affective dimensions of creating texts.

Before pursuing their PhD at the University of Pittsburgh, Sojin worked as a translator in Seoul, Korea, where she primarily translated texts by visual artists, curators, art therapists, and queer activists. Sojin holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in English.
