Her book, Uncoupling American Empire: Cultural Politics of Deviance and Unequal Difference, 1890-1910 (SUNY, 2013) provides a critical cultural genealogy of the ways in which the institutionalization of marriage shaped imagined relationships among working people who were seen as sexually deviant in nineteenth-century U.S. imperial cultures.

Dr. Cho has received numerous prestigious research fellowships from the Bancroft Library, the Huntington Library, the Pacific Rim Research Program at the University of California, the Institute of Global Conflict and Cooperation at the University of California, Miami University's Humanities Center, and the Research Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences in Taiwan.
