Soohyun Cho is a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science at Ohio State University(a graduate minor in Applied Statistics from the Department of Statistics). She specializes in international political economy and political methodology. Her research lies at the intersection of political methodology, international political economy, and gender politics. In broad terms, she investigates the linkages between economic globalization and workers’ experiences in the domestic labor market. She explores her research agenda through a mix of large-N quantitative analysis, causal inference, survey experiments, Bayesian statistics, and text analysis. Her dissertation, Three Essays on the Political Economy of International Trade and the Domestic Labor Market, focuses on firms’ and workers’ responses to economic globalization and the diffusion of socially responsible norms.

Before joining Ohio State, she earned her B.A. and M.A. in Political Science at Seoul National University, South Korea. Her work has been supported by the Fulbright Fellowship (2016-2018). During the 2022-2023 academic year, she is a Presidential Fellow at OSU.
