Robert Turner, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow, Marquette University
Research Scientist, Indiana Consortium for Mental Health Services Research, Indiana University
Dr. Turner recently received is Ph.D. in sociology from the Graduate Center, City University of New York.
His dissertation, "Fifteen Minutes of Fame: The life and the mind of the NFL athlete," examines how the structural inequalities of the NFL—particularly those of economics and race—impact athletes after leaving the game. The project draws largely on in-depth interviews and observations conducted with 120 present and former NFL athletes and members of the NFL community, highlighting athletes’ labor struggles against management, economic hardship, forced retirement, physical and mental health problems, and family conflicts. Robert serves as the director of the Reaching Out Together Foundation, a non-profit organization that works with present and former NFL athletes to encourage academic achievement, health promotion, social responsibility, and general life skills awareness among student athletes from economically disadvantaged communities.
