Dr. Zusho is currently a Professor of Educational Psychology in the Graduate School of Education at Fordham University. She received her BA and MA in psychology as well as her PhD in education and psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Her research focuses on examining the intersection of culture, achievement motivation, and self-regulation. The overarching goal of her research is to develop informed, less prescriptive, culturally sensitive theories of motivation and self-regulated learning that take into consideration the academic and motivational processes of urban youth from culturally-diverse backgrounds.

With Dr. Rhonda Bondie, she is currently working on developing a motivationally-supportive professional development program called All Learners Learning Everyday.
