Jinhyun Cho Profile

ProfilesJinhyun Cho (Ph.D. Macquarie University, 2016) is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.

Jinhyun specializes in translation and interpreting and sociolinguistics with a focus on gender, intercultural communication, and language ideologies. Jinhyun’s research brings together interpreting and sociolinguistics to examine hitherto taken-for-granted cultural and linguistic phenomena through the unique prism of interpreters as social agents. By focusing on a shift in understanding away from the traditional mechanical view of interpreters as “translation machines” to a perspective which sees interpreters as social actors, she has been able to capture significant insights into the dynamics of dominant ideologies and societal power structures and their influences on linguistic and cultural practices in diverse socio-historical contexts.

Jinhyun has a particular passion for social justice, diversity and inclusion and currently serves on the editorial board of Multilingua.
