During his tenure at San Diego State University, Dr. Jung Min Choi has taught a variety of sociology courses including, Contemporary Theory, Globalization and Global Ethics, Sociology of Education, and Introduction to Sociology. For the past 30 years of being a university professor, he has never lost the passion for teaching and considers teaching “an act of love.” He has been the recipient of more than 40 teaching excellence awards as a professor, including the prestigious Quest for the Best Faculty 7 times, Mortar Board Outstanding Faculty 7 times, and Most Influential Faculty 8 times. He has published on a wide range of topics, such as postmodernism and race, assimilation and identity, Obama and education, computerization of society, and has written extensively on the bankruptcy of neoliberalism and globalization. He has engaged in multiple community-based projects locally and globally. Given all of the above, he is most proud of his time spent as a volunteer faculty at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility (San Diego) in creating a “community of learners who,” according to one person, “have created something to look forward to in a place where there is nothing to look forward to.”
